Fenerbahce in talks with Al Nassr over Youssef En-Nesyri transfer

Fenerbahce is in negotiations with Al Nassr over a potential transfer of Moroccan forward Youssef En-Nesyri, according to Turkish media.

Representatives from the Saudi club are expected to arrive in Istanbul soon to finalize the deal.

Why it matters

En-Nesyri joined Fenerbahce from Sevilla for 19.5 million euros, a record fee at the time. Should Al Nassr meet Fenerbahce's reported 40 million euro asking price, he would become the most expensive outgoing transfer in Super Lig history.

High valuation: Fenerbahce has set a 40 million-euro price tag on the 27-year-old striker.

What to watch

If the deal is completed at the proposed fee, it would underscore both the Saudi Pro League's rising appeal to global talent and Fenerbahce's determination to secure top value for its key players.
