Al-Nassr representatives have allegedly already contacted Fenerbahce regarding Youssef En-Nesyri's move to Saudi Arabia

Last July (a bit surprisingly) Youssef En-Nesyri moved from Sevilla to the Turkish side Fenerbahce in a transfer worth €19.5 million. It was initially believed that the Moroccan would represent a major reinforcement for Jose Mourinho's attack, but the Portuguese rarely used "his favours" so far.

It was a clear sign for the player's agents to "wink" at other interested parties, and the first club to stand in line was the Saudi Al-Nassr. Cristiano Ronaldo's team's representatives have reportedly already contacted Fenerbahce, as their boss, Stefano Pioli, requested another attacking option.

En-Nesyri has made 17 appearances for the Turks this season in all competitions but spent only 793 minutes on the pitch - mainly in the UEFA Europa League (250), where he was usually among the starters since Mourinho had more faith in Edin Dzeko, who scored as many as 11 goals so far in the season.

The Moroccan, on the other hand, netted twice in the mentioned European competition and two more times in the Turkish Super Lig. Interestingly, a few days ago, the Spanish media reported that En-Nesyri's former club, Sevilla, wanted to bring him back on loan, but Fenerbahce rejected the offer.
