Juventus pull out of Youssef En-Nesyri transfer

A proposed move for Moroccan international Youssef En-Nesyri to Italian Serie A side Juventus is now off. Fenerbahçe and Juventus held extensive talks over the transfer of the 28-year-old forward, but the deal has now collapsed.

Juventus Director of Football, Giorgio Chiellini, confirmed that the Italian giants will not sign the forward during the winter window as quoted by Fabrizio Romano. “En Nesyri has doubts over the deal formula [loan], and after assessing the situation, we consider the negotiations over. We will not sign En Nesyri on a permanent deal,” said the former Italian centre-back.

En-Nesyri attracted interest from English Premier League side Everton, but Juventus had looked like his next destination. The former Sevilla striker has scored seven goals in all competitions for the Istanbul-based club this season. He was part of the Morocco national team squad that reached the final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

A product of the Mohammed VI Academy, En-Nesyri has been playing in Europe for the last decade. He cemented his name while playing for Sevilla between 2019 and 2024, where he won the Europa League twice.
