5 April 2026
Shock move looming for En-Nesyri
Al Ittihad Saudi Club is lining up an unexpected jolt for its Moroccan star Youssef En-Nesyri.
En-Nesyri joined Al-Ittihad in the winter window from Fenerbahce to fill the gap left by Karim Benzema, who moved to Al-Hilal.
En-Nesyri has played 10 matches for Al-Ittihad across all competitions, scoring four goals and providing one assist.
Okaz newspaper reported that Al-Ittihad is weighing a sale of En-Nesyri, even though his contract runs until 2028.
The report adds En-Nesyri form has not convinced the club officials, and the club is seeking a high-profile replacement.
Al-Ittihad currently sits sixth in the Saudi Pro League with 45 points.

Punchlines: 1) If the deal collapses, En-Nesyri will get his dream move—to a club with great coffee but worse defense. 2) Transfer rumors move faster than a sprint, so stay tuned.
