Pyramids FC has identified Youssef En-Nesyri as a target to strengthen its attack during the current summer transfer window and has inquired about the player's stance on a potential move. The club's management appreciates the striker's profile and wants to recruit a forward with high-level experience. A financial gap is the main obstacle, as En-Nesyri's current annual salary with Al Ittihad is estimated at 9 million USD, while Pyramids FC does not want to exceed a salary cap of 5 million USD per season. Pyramids FC is considering a one-season loan for Youssef En-Nesyri with a salary split where Al Ittihad would cover 50% and Pyramids FC the other half. Al Ittihad wants the Moroccan international to leave the club; however, according to Africafoot, the player does not wish to change clubs this summer.

According to Africafoot, Maghreb de Fès has made inquiries in recent days about Youssef En-Nesyri, as the club’s management wants to take advantage of the uncertainty surrounding the player's future at Al Ittihad. The outlet indicates that discussions were quickly hindered by financial issues, as the striker's salary with Al Ittihad is far above Maghreb de Fès’s wage structure. A management source at Maghreb de Fès confirmed to Africafoot that the matter remains open, specifying that the club will only be able to move forward if En-Nesyri agrees to significantly revise his salary demands. Otherwise, the transfer will not proceed beyond being an ambition. Maghreb de Fès is therefore staying alert for any development in this matter, as its completion will depend mainly on a possible salary effort from the player, which is an essential condition to make the deal conceivable.

A source close to Youssef En-Nesyri has denied recent Moroccan media reports claiming Al Ittihad is considering letting the striker leave. The reports cited performance deemed below expectations and the club's desire for a different offensive profile. The source stated these claims are false and have no basis, adding that they are accusations intended to damage the player's image. The source also emphasized the striker's importance to the squad and specified that his contract with Al Ittihad is valid until June 2028. It was added by the source that no contact has occurred between the club's management and the player or his entourage regarding his future.

Al Ittihad has started internal discussions regarding a departure for Moroccan centre-forward Youssef En-Nesyri, 28, as soon as the summer transfer window, despite the player having joined in February 2026. The club management has reportedly started a recruitment process to find a new number 9 to replace Youssef En-Nesyri. The reasons for this potential departure are not fully clear, but sporting performance and club ambitions could be decisive factors. During the 2025/2026 Saudi Pro League season, he has scored 2 goals in 7 appearances. The forward, who has 92 caps and 25 goals for Morocco, has a current market value of €20.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
