Following consistent criticism of his performance at Fenerbahçe, the club's priority during the winter transfer window is to sell 28-year-old Youssef En-Nesyri for a transfer fee. As no satisfactory offers have yet been received, the Sadettin Saran administration is prepared to send the Moroccan player out on loan if a permanent transfer cannot be completed. Several clubs from Saudi Arabia are reportedly interested, with Al-Shabab, Al-Ahli, and Al-Ittihad mentioned as prominent interested clubs. Fenerbahçe's objective to sell the player is linked to their preparations to sign a high-profile striker, and En-Nesyri's departure would speed up that process. The Moroccan international, who has 89 caps and 25 goals for his country, has scored 7 goals in 15 Süper Lig appearances this season. His contract with the club runs until June 2029, and Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €22 million. Fenerbahçe's asking price for the player in December 2025 was reported to be between €25 million and €35 million. This followed his €19.5 million transfer from Sevilla in July 2024.
