Softfootball understands that Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri is set to make a big decision about his next club in the coming days, with multiple European sides chasing his signature, as reported by Fabrizio Romano via his official X account.
He posted:
Youssef En-Nesyri will decide his future soon, with several clubs keen. After Napoli and Juventus, Aston Villa also called in the last 24 hours.
The 28-year-old returned from the African Cup of Nations, where Senegal defeated Morocco 1-0 in the AFCON final, and he’s suddenly back in the spotlight. Currently contracted to Fenerbahçe, the Turkish side are reportedly open to offers.
Juventus have officially entered the race, putting forward a formal offer for the striker. They are proposing a loan with an option to buy. En-Nesyri’s strength in the air, his physical presence and his European experience make him an appealing option for the Bianconeri, who see him as someone who could step in straight away.
Napoli are also pushing hard. The Serie A champions want to strengthen their attack after Lorenzo Lucca’s likely exit and Romelu Lukaku being sidelined. Many in Naples think En-Nesyri might prefer a move there.
Aston Villa and Everton have also reportedly officially entered the race, following Jack Grealish’s injury, which is set to keep him out for three months.
Reports say the club has been given the chance to sign him, adding Premier League interest. Still, doubts linger, En-Nesyri may not be keen on moving to England’s colder weather, potentially ruling out both Villa and Everton despite the clubs’ attempts.
Everton, who once looked like frontrunners, now seem behind. Manager David Moyes confirmed they are still looking for attacking reinforcements, but Napoli and Juventus offer more attractive projects. En-Nesyri’s next move could shift the balance of the summer transfer window, and he’s taking his time before making the call.
