Youssef En-Nesyri has yet to give Juventus a definitive response, and the coming hours could prove decisive in shaping the outcome of this transfer saga.
According to TuttoSport, a meeting is scheduled this morning between Fenerbahçe and the Moroccan striker, with the aim of clarifying the situation and untangling the remaining doubts surrounding his future.

En-Nesyri’s Doubts and Juventus’ Position
En-Nesyri has never made the negotiations about salary or financial demands. His hesitation, instead, is linked to concerns over Juventus’ real ability to complete his permanent signing in the summer.
The current deal structure would see the striker arrive under specific conditions, but the player wants clear guarantees that the Bianconeri can follow through once the season ends.
This uncertainty has slowed down his decision, despite Juventus’ strong interest and the progress already made with Fenerbahçe. From Juventus’ perspective, patience is not unlimited.
The club is eager to reinforce its attacking department and would prefer to close the deal quickly, avoiding a prolonged wait that could compromise other opportunities on the market.
The talks taking place today are therefore crucial in determining whether En-Nesyri can be convinced or if the Old Lady will be forced to look elsewhere.

Alternative Options on Juventus’ Radar
Should En-Nesyri ultimately decide to turn down Juventus’ proposal, the club already has several alternatives lined up.
Jean-Philippe Mateta could resurface as a concrete option, especially if Crystal Palace were to lower their financial demands.
The French striker is appreciated for his physical presence and ability to lead the line, qualities Juventus values in a centre-forward.
Another name under consideration is Joshua Zirkzee, who has been sounded out in recent days by the Bianconeri.

The Dutch forward remains an intriguing profile, though competition and costs could complicate any potential move.
Beto is also on Juventus’ shortlist, with the Portuguese striker expected to leave Everton and open to a new challenge.
As reported by TuttoSport, Juventus’ strategy remains flexible, but the priority is clear: securing a reliable striker capable of making an immediate impact. The next few hours may well decide whether En-Nesyri is the chosen man or if the club will swiftly change direction.
