The anticipated signing of En-Nesyri comes as a boost for Fenerbahce, who are looking to strengthen their attacking options.
Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano suggests that the transfer fee will exceed €20 million.
En-Nesyri’s move to Fenerbahce marks a setback for AS Roma, who had identified him as a primary target to enhance their attack.
Despite their interest, Roma was unable to reach a deal with Sevilla.
