Youssef Aït Bennasser could be set for a move away from Turkey this summer, with several European clubs reportedly monitoring his situation as his contract approaches its June expiration.
The Moroccan midfielder has rebuilt his career in Turkey after difficult spells at Bordeaux and Monaco.
Seeking a fresh start, he joined Samsunspor and has since established himself as a key figure in the team.
His performances have reignited interest in him, making him a potential target in the upcoming transfer window.
A successful spell in Turkey
Since arriving at Samsunspor in 2023, Aït Bennasser has been a vital presence in midfield.
His leadership qualities saw him quickly appointed vice-captain, and he has played an instrumental role in the club’s strong campaign, which saw them secure an impressive third-place finish in the Turkish Super Lig.
His ability to dictate play and maintain consistency throughout the season has not gone unnoticed, with scouts from various European clubs keeping close tabs on his progress.
Transfer speculation grows
According to Footmercato, multiple clubs across Europe are considering a move for the 28-year-old.
His experience at both club and international level, combined with his versatility in midfield, makes him an attractive prospect for teams looking to strengthen their squad.
With his contract set to expire in June, speculation about his future is intensifying.
Aït Bennasser remains focused on helping Samsunspor secure European qualification, but a departure at the end of the season appears increasingly likely.
As the summer transfer window approaches, his next destination remains uncertain, but his resurgence in Turkey has placed him firmly back on the radar of clubs across the continent.
