During the mid-season transfer window, Saudi clubs closely monitored Youssef En Nesyri, presenting a 35 million euro offer. However, the Fenerbahçe management rejected this offer, and the Moroccan striker expressed his desire to stay with the team.

Fenerbahçe wants to keep Youssef-En Nesyri, who was transferred at Mourinho's insistence. However, Al-Nassr's persistent interest and their willingness to spend for the Moroccan forward have led Fenerbahçe to start looking for a new striker in case of En-Nesyri's departure.
