Youssef En-Nesyri Makes Move To Fenerbahce In £20M Deal From Sevilla

Youssef En-Nesyri has officially moved from Sevilla to Fenerbahce, as confirmed by the Turkish club on Thursday. The Moroccan striker, who netted 73 goals in 196 appearances for the La Liga team, has signed a five-year contract with Fenerbahce for a reported fee of €20 million.

Before joining Sevilla, En-Nesyri played for Malaga and Leganes in Spain. His time at Sevilla was marked by significant achievements, including helping the team win the Europa League twice. He scored six goals across 15 matches in those victorious campaigns.

The 27-year-old forward also made a notable impact on the international stage. En-Nesyri was instrumental in Morocco's impressive run to the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where he scored two crucial goals.

En-Nesyri's transfer to Fenerbahce makes him the most expensive player in the club's history. His €20 million move surpasses Cengiz Under's previous record transfer from Marseille last year, which was valued at €15 million.

The Moroccan striker's signing was celebrated with an official ceremony at Fenerbahce's Ulker Stadium. The event featured prominent figures, including Vice President Acun Ilıcalı, who welcomed En-Nesyri to the club.

"Kulübümüzün Sevilladan kadrosuna kattığı Faslı golcü oyuncu Youssef En-Nesyri, kendisini 5 yıllığına sarı lacivertli renklere bağlayan sözleşmeye imza attı," read a tweet from Fenerbahce SK's official account.
