Juventus continue negotiations with Fenerbahçe for Youssef En-Nesyri, though no agreement has yet been reached between the two clubs. IlBianconero report that the dialogue remains active as the Bianconeri consider their next move in the transfer market.
Following their Champions League win over Benfica, which secured qualification for the play-offs, Luciano Spalletti’s team left the match with both confidence and a few new reflections — particularly regarding the attack. Jonathan David was involved in both of Juventus’ goals but delivered a performance that remained inconsistent, showing a lack of sharpness inside the penalty area, as Spalletti himself underlined.
The Canadian forward has not fully convinced, and while Juventus intend to continue backing him, the club are also exploring options to strengthen their attacking line. The main target remains Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri, whose transfer discussions are ongoing.
Negotiations still ongoing
Talks between Juventus and Fenerbahçe have been progressing for several days and intensified after initial exploratory contacts. While relations with the player’s entourage appear smooth, Juventus are yet to find common ground with the Turkish club. The conversation, however, remains open, with further meetings expected soon to try to reach a breakthrough.
Competition from other clubs
Juventus are not alone in the race. Napoli remain keen on En-Nesyri and have already made moves in recent days, setting up what could become a genuine transfer duel with the Bianconeri — though for now, Juventus appear to be in a stronger position. Interest has also arrived from the Premier League, with Aston Villa monitoring the situation closely. The English club are reportedly also considering Jean-Philippe Mateta, another forward on Juve’s radar this transfer window.
The deal structure and next steps
Fenerbahçe could be open to letting En-Nesyri leave, given his sizeable salary of around €8 million per season — a figure significant not just for the Turkish side but for many European clubs. The two parties are also yet to agree on the formula of the deal, with a potential loan move still under consideration.
The coming days will be crucial for clarifying the Moroccan striker’s future, as well as Juventus’ offensive plans heading into the decisive stretch of the season.
