Saudi Giants Al-Nassr Intensify Pursuit of Moroccan Striker En-Nesyri with Improved Bid

Negotiations are intensifying around the future of Youssef En-Nesyri. The Moroccan striker, under contract with Fenerbahçe until 2029, is being courted by the Saudi club Al-Nassr.

Al-Nassr has made the Moroccan international its recruitment priority. The Saudi club, anticipating a possible departure of Anderson Talisca, wants to strengthen its attacking sector. En-Nesyri’s profile, an efficient striker and experienced in European competitions, corresponds to the expectations of the Saudi leaders.

Determined, Al-Nassr has even gone on the offensive. After an initial offer of 35 million euros rejected by Fenerbahçe, the Saudi club has come back with an increased proposal, reaching 38 million euros.

The position of José Mourinho, Fenerbahçe’s coach, complicates the situation. The Portuguese technician is counting on En-Nesyri, who has become an essential piece of his team. Since his arrival in Turkey last summer, the Moroccan has scored 9 goals and provided 3 assists in 24 appearances in all competitions. His performances justify the "Special One’s" desire to keep him.
