Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri attracts interest from Saudi champions Al Hilal

Al Hilal are pursuing a deal for Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri as they look to reinforce their attacking line-up ahead of the upcoming season.

According to reports from Turkish media, the Saudi Pro League champions have made their interest in the 26-year-old forward known, identifying him as a priority target during the current transfer window.

En-Nesyri, who joined Fenerbahçe last season, is not expected to come cheap, with the Turkish club reportedly demanding a fee of no less than €30 million.

A move to Riyadh would reunite the Moroccan international with fellow Atlas Lion Yassine Bounou, the goalkeeper he shared a dressing room with during his time at Sevilla.

The prospect of playing alongside a familiar face at a club of Al Hilal’s stature is believed to appeal to the striker.

En-Nesyri’s name had previously been linked with another Saudi side, Al Nassr, during the January window.

However, talks failed to progress at that time, and the proposed deal was shelved before reaching the negotiation stage.

Despite Fenerbahçe enduring a turbulent campaign, En-Nesyri delivered a standout individual season, finishing with 30 goals in 52 appearances across all competitions.

Of those, 20 came in the Turkish Süper Lig, where his clinical finishing kept the Istanbul giants within reach of domestic honours.

While En-Nesyri’s output was impressive, the club’s overall underperformance may have contributed to speculation over his future.

His goal-scoring form has not gone unnoticed, with interest from multiple leagues reflecting his growing stock in the global transfer market.

Al Hilal, fresh off their latest Pro League triumph, are understood to be building a squad capable of dominating both domestically and on the continental stage.

The addition of En-Nesyri would bolster a frontline already rich with talent, adding proven international pedigree and a powerful goal-scoring presence.

Should negotiations proceed successfully, En-Nesyri could become the latest high-profile name to make the switch from Europe to the Middle East, following a growing trend among elite players exploring new opportunities in the region.

For now, discussions remain ongoing, with Fenerbahçe holding firm on their valuation.

Whether Al Hilal meet that price remains to be seen, but the club’s intent is clear: they want Youssef En-Nesyri, and they’re prepared to compete for him.
