Potential Transfer Movement: Bologna’s Interest in Moroccan Forward Youssef En-Nesyri Intensifies
Bologna, a Serie A club, seems to be eyeing another Moroccan international, barely a year after acquiring Oussama El Azzouzi. El Azzouzi, 23, joined Bologna last summer on a four-year contract from Union Saint-Gilloise. Now, the Rossoblu are setting their sights on the Moroccan national team’s forward Youssef En-Nesyri.
En-Nesyri, 27, who boasts an impressive record of 20 goals in 73 appearances for the Moroccan national team, has become a hot commodity in the transfer market. Currently at Sevilla, the striker’s contract is set to expire next year, making him a prime target for several clubs.
Bologna’s newly appointed head coach, Vincenzo Italiano, has expressed a keen interest in signing En-Nesyri. Other notable clubs, including Fenerbahçe, Al-Qadsiah, and AS Roma, are also in the race for his signature. According to reports from Il Resto del Carlino, Italiano is seeking a reliable striker to fill the gap anticipated by Joshua Zirkzee’s potential move to Manchester United.
Roma has been particularly relentless in their pursuit of the Atlas Lion. En-Nesyri has already discussed his future with Roma’s coach, Daniele De Rossi, and a crucial meeting with their management is scheduled for next week.
On the other hand, Al-Qadsiah from the Saudi Pro League appears to be leading the race according to various sources. The club has reportedly made an enticing offer, including a three-year contract worth 6 million euros per season, coupled with a substantial financial proposal for Sevilla. The lucrative contract has evidently turned En-Nesyri’s head, adding to his array of options.
As the transfer window heats up, En-Nesyri’s decision could significantly impact the dynamics of the upcoming season for the interested clubs. With intense competition and lucrative offers on the table, the outcome remains highly unpredictable.
