Al-Ittihad Jeddah has decided to part ways with Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri in the upcoming summer transfer window, according to exclusive information. The club’s management has reportedly concluded that the player does not fit into the team’s future sporting project.
The decision comes after a season where En-Nesyri, who joined from Sevilla last summer, failed to secure a consistent starting position. He found himself behind other attacking options in the squad, limiting his contributions on the pitch.
Al-Ittihad is now preparing to listen to offers for the 26-year-old forward. The club aims to recoup a significant portion of the transfer fee they paid to acquire him, which was revealed to be 25 million euros. This move is part of a broader strategy to rebuild the team under the guidance of club president Anmar Al-Ha’ili.
The management believes that selling En-Nesyri will free up both a foreign player slot and substantial financial resources. These assets are seen as crucial for entering the market and signing new players who better align with the technical vision set by the sporting director and the next head coach.
En-Nesyri’s departure appears to be a key first step in what is expected to be a busy summer of change at Al-Ittihad, as the club looks to reshape its squad for future challenges.
