How much could En‑Nesyri cost Juventus 

Juventus is reportedly closing in on Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri from Fenerbahce, as the club seeks a new central forward ahead of the upcoming season.

According to Tuttosport, the Turin side is weighing its options carefully, with En-Nesyri emerging as the most likely addition to the squad.

For days, Juventus has been exploring several targets, including Jean-Philippe Mateta of Crystal Palace. Initially considered the club’s primary option, the French forward has become a complicated pursuit due to high demands from the English side and strong competition from other clubs.

Palace reportedly prefers an immediate transfer fee rather than a structured deal, while Aston Villa has also entered the race, potentially meeting the English club’s requirements. These complications have paved the way for En-Nesyri to take the spotlight as Juventus’ leading striker candidate.

Details of the En-Nesyri Deal

En-Nesyri, who was proposed to Juventus about a week ago, has been met with immediate interest from the club. While Napoli reportedly also inquired about the Moroccan international, Juventus currently leads the race to secure him in this transfer window.

Recent discussions between the clubs suggest momentum is building toward a deal. The striker earns €8 million net per season, but Tuttosport reports that his salary is not expected to pose a significant obstacle.

Juventus is willing to cover the remaining wages for the rest of the year and offer a small compensation fee to finalize a temporary transfer quickly.

The deal is expected to take the form of a loan with an option to buy, a structure that Fenerbahce appears open to, both to free up squad space and reduce their financial burden.

If the option is exercised, the eventual transfer fee could reach €20 million, bringing the total potential cost to around €25 million, though only €5 million would be guaranteed initially.

This arrangement would give Juventus flexibility in the summer to pursue another striker if they choose, while still securing a high-profile forward in the meantime.

Tuttosport emphasizes that En-Nesyri’s move could be a pragmatic yet ambitious step for Juventus as the club looks to strengthen its attacking options without committing to a full long-term investment immediately.
