The Moroccan international had been on Roma’s radar, but negotiations with Sevilla did not result in an agreement, leaving the door open for Fenerbahçe to swoop in.En-Nesyri’s move comes at a crucial time for both clubs.
Roma is actively seeking a new striker following the departure of Romelu Lukaku, who returned to Chelsea after his loan spell. With Tammy Abraham’s future uncertain, the Giallorossi are in urgent need of reinforcements, but their failure to secure En-Nesyri has left them exploring other options, including Villarreal’s Alexander Sørloth and Lille’s Jonathan David.
