En-Nesyri attracted interest from European clubs during the winter transfer window, as he was expected to join Italian side Juventus. Juventus later opted not to proceed with the loan move, while English side Everton cooled off their interest. The prolific goal scorer will now join the reigning Saudi Pro League champions.

Fenerbahçe thanked the 28-year-old striker for his service after he joined in 2024 following a spell in Spain with Sevilla. He also suited up for Malaga and Leganes. He has been a Morocco international since 2016.

Teşekkürler Youssef En-Nesyri

En-Nesyri is expected to replace Karim Benzema at his club. The latter, in a surprise move, left the Saudi champions for bitter rivals Al Hilal on Tuesday, February 3rd.

Sergio Conceicao’s charges are sixth with 34 points, 13 points behind table-toppers Al Hilal. Their next assignment will be the Jeddah derby against Al Nassr.
