A record offer for Youssef En-Nesyri... and Hakim Ziyech in England?

An attractive offer has arrived for the Moroccan striker of Fenerbahçe, Youssef En-Nesyri. His compatriot Hakim Ziyech of Galatasaray is on the radar of several English clubs.

Is Youssef En-Nesyri going to leave Fenerbahçe? The Moroccan striker has received an offer of 30 million euros from clubs in the Saudi Pro League, who wish to acquire his services, reports Fotomac, stating that a meeting with Portuguese coach José Mourinho, who does not wish to part with his protégé, will be organized to discuss the situation of the Moroccan international and the offer received. The goal is to reach an agreement concerning a possible sale with the player’s consent.

Al-Nassr has decided to increase its offer to 34 million euros to recruit En-Nesyri in the next transfer window, an amount never reached in the history of transfers in the Turkish league, accompanied by a second exchange including the Brazilian striker Anderson Talisca, reported Milliyet in November.

Recruited last summer for 19.5 million euros, En-Nesyri has become the most expensive transfer in the club’s history. This season, he has contributed or scored 11 goals in 24 matches in the Turkish Super Lig, Europa League and Champions League qualifications.

Hakim Ziyech has not yet received an attractive offer, but he is of interest to several English clubs such as Ipswich Town and West Ham United, who wish to recruit him in the next transfer window. The probability that the 31-year-old player will join West Ham is higher than his transfer to Ipswich Town, which risks leaving the Premier League in case of continued poor results. West Ham is considered an established mid-table club in the Premier League.

Fallen out of favor with his coach, Okan Buruk, Ziyech will have to find a new club. The Galatasaray management has authorized the Atlas Lion to negotiate with other clubs in anticipation of his imminent departure, after he was sidelined from coach Okan Buruk’s plans, who did not use him for the majority of this season, reported Haluk Yürekli. As a result, he has only played five games this season and provided one assist.
