Youssef En-Nesyri has reportedly informed Fenerbahçe of his intention to depart the club at the end of the current season, according to Turkish outlet Fanatik.
The Moroccan international, who has spent just one season with the Istanbul-based side, is understood to have made up his mind about seeking a new challenge elsewhere, sparking interest from several high-profile clubs across Europe and beyond.
Premier League giants Manchester United are said to be among the frontrunners monitoring the situation closely.
The English club is weighing up a move for the 26-year-old as they explore reinforcements to bolster their attacking options for the upcoming campaign.
Arsenal, too, are reportedly considering a swoop for the forward.
The Gunners view En-Nesyri as a strong fit for their system and believe his experience and physicality could add depth and versatility to their frontline.
Interest in the player extends beyond Europe.
Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr previously tabled a €30 million bid in an attempt to lure the striker to the Middle East.
However, Fenerbahçe rebuffed the offer, holding firm on their valuation of €40 million.
That stance underscores the Turkish club’s recognition of En-Nesyri’s value on the transfer market despite his decision to part ways.
His exit would mark the end of a relatively short stint in Turkey, where his performances have drawn both praise and speculation throughout the season.
The Moroccan’s future now appears firmly away from Istanbul, with several top clubs preparing offers to secure his signature once the transfer window opens.
No official statement has yet been made by Fenerbahçe or the player’s representatives, but the interest from clubs across Europe and the Gulf region suggests a bidding contest could emerge in the coming weeks.
As the transfer window approaches, En-Nesyri’s next move is likely to be among the more closely followed sagas, especially given the calibre of the clubs circling his name.
