Sevilla has shown interest in Youssef En-Nesyri, the Moroccan forward currently playing for Fenerbahce, with plans to make an offer in the upcoming winter transfer window.
En-Nesyri, who signed a five-year contract with Fenerbahce at the start of the season, has struggled to meet expectations, with only one goal in 11 appearances.
Fenerbahce, led by Jose Mourinho, invested $21.6 million to bring En-Nesyri from Sevilla, setting a record as the most expensive player in the club’s history. Despite the high hopes surrounding his transfer, Youssef En-Nesyri has underperformed, causing disappointment among fans and management.
This transfer marked a significant decision for the 27-year-old striker, who ended his 4.5-season stint with Sevilla despite interest from Newcastle, Roma, and several Arab clubs.
Mourinho’s direct intervention played a crucial role in convincing En-Nesyri to choose Fenerbahce over these other offers. His transfer fee of $21.6 million included a four-year contract, with the striker earning $4.3 million annually.
According to reports from Spanish outlet Vamossevilla, Sevilla aims to bring En-Nesyri back on loan during the winter transfer window. The Spanish club is preparing to approach Fenerbahce in January, eager to reintegrate the striker into their squad. En-Nesyri, who now holds a market value of $24 million, has a contract with Fenerbahce until 2029, making negotiations potentially complex.
Sevilla’s interest comes at a time when Fenerbahce faces decisions regarding the player’s future. The club may need to consider whether to hold onto the forward or negotiate a deal with Sevilla. The upcoming winter transfer window will provide a clearer picture of En-Nesyri’s next steps, possibly offering him a chance to revive his career in La Liga.
