Fenerbahçe has made historical past with their newest signing, Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri, who joins the Turkish giants on a five-year deal.
Announced Thursday by the membership, this transfer marks the biggest switch ever in Turkish Süper Lig historical past, with Fenerbahçe shelling out 19.5 million euros ($21.2 million) over the subsequent 4 years for the 27-year-old ahead.
“Welcome to Fenerbahçe, Youssef En-Nesyri,” the Istanbul-based membership introduced on X, celebrating their first main acquisition since Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho took the helm in early June.
En-Nesyri, who has dazzled for Morocco with 20 objectives in 73 appearances, leaves Sevilla after a profitable four-year stint.
During his time on the Andalusian membership, he scored 73 objectives in 196 appearances and performed a pivotal function in Sevilla’s Europa League triumphs in 2020 and 2023.
His memorable header towards Portugal was instrumental in Morocco’s historic run to the 2022 World Cup semi-finals.
At Fenerbahçe, En-Nesyri will associate with seasoned Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko in a bid to finish the membership’s nine-year title drought.
Last season, Fenerbahçe completed as runners-up within the Super Lig, trailing their arch-rivals Galatasaray.
Fenerbahçe confirmed the switch via the Public Disclosure Platform (KAP), detailing that the 19.5 million euro payment will probably be paid in eight installments over 4 years.
This deal surpasses Galatasaray’s earlier document switch of Mario Jardel for 17 million euros in 2000.
The membership’s assertion learn: “Our club has reached an agreement with Youssef En-Nesyri and Sevilla FC for his transfer. The Moroccan striker has committed to Fenerbahçe for five years. We extend a warm welcome to Youssef En-Nesyri and wish him great success and many championships with our crest.”
