Youssef En-Nesyri officially signs with Saudi club Al-Ittihad
Saudi club Al-Ittihad officially announced, through its social media accounts, the signing of Moroccan international Youssef En-Nesyri from Turkish side Fenerbahçe, without disclosing the financial details or the duration of the contract.
In a presentation video published on this occasion, the club confirmed the arrival of the Moroccan striker, who will strengthen the team’s attacking line during the second half of the current season, amid several changes within the squad, notably following the departure of French forward Karim Benzema.
According to consistent media reports, Youssef En-Nesyri was forced to terminate his contract with Fenerbahçe in order to complete his move to Al-Ittihad, after the transfer failed to go through in the final hours of the Saudi winter transfer window due to procedural difficulties.
The Turkish club had previously issued a statement holding Al-Ittihad’s management responsible for failing to comply with the legal procedures required to finalize the transfer within the set deadlines. Media sources later reported that the two parties reached a legal agreement, allowing the player’s signing to be officially confirmed.
With this acquisition, Al-Ittihad secures the services of one of the most prominent Moroccan strikers in recent years, as attention now turns to the impact En-Nesyri may have in his new colors during the upcoming sporting fixtures.
