Al Hilal turns focus to acquiring Youssef En-Nesyri

Al Hilal, who recently attempted to sign Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen but were unsuccessful, are now focusing their efforts on Moroccan international Youssef En-Nesyri, who has already demonstrated his goal scoring skills in Spain and Turkey.

According to various sources, Al Hilal have contacted Fenerbahçe to negotiate the transfer of En-Nesyri. The Turkish club is reportedly willing to sell the Moroccan striker if the offer is around €40 million, an amount Al Hilal is willing to pay to secure his services. This transaction would represent a significant capital gain for Fenerbahçe and additional revenue for Sevilla, thanks to a percentage agreed upon in the previous sale.

Al Hilal’s interest has intensified after other options to strengthen their attack failed. The Saudi club is looking for a striker with international experience and En-Nesyri fits the bill perfectly, particularly after his excellent time at Sevilla and his recent performances in Turkey where he scored 30 goals in 50 appearances for Fener this past season.

En-Nesyri is under contract with Fenerbahçe until 2029, giving the Turkish club a strong negotiating position. Other clubs, such as newly promoted Saudi Pro League side NEOM SC, Fulham and other Premier League clubs have also expressed interest but Al Hilal’s offer appears to be the most concrete and advanced at this stage.
