Fenerbahçe's Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri is attracting serious interest from several clubs, including Saudi Arabia's Al-Ettifaq, who are reportedly preparing an official offer for the Moroccan international during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Turkish sources indicate that Al-Ettifaq is determined to strengthen its offensive line and has set its sights on the 26-year-old Moroccan striker. The Saudi Pro League side is reportedly ready to enter into negotiations with Fenerbahçe, confident of luring En-Nesyri into its ranks. En-Nesyri, who recently joined the Turkish giants, appears to be at the center of a growing transfer war as Al-Ettifaq isn't the only Saudi club monitoring his situation: Al-Nassr has also shown renewed interest.

Beyond Saudi Arabia, the English Premier League is also attracting strong interest. West Ham United FC, a longtime admirer of En-Nesyri, is reportedly reconsidering its stance on the Moroccan striker. According to sources, the London club is keen to bring En-Nesyri to England and sees him as an ideal candidate to strengthen its attacking options.

West Ham, in particular, hopes to capitalize on the situation and finally land a player they have been targeting for several years. The Hammers previously attempted to sign En-Nesyri in 2021 and 2024, but negotiations on both occasions failed to reach a conclusion.

Despite these setbacks, West Ham's interest remains strong. The English club's management is reportedly preparing a new €35 million offer to finally bring the Moroccan striker to the Premier League.
