Morocco forward Youssef En-Nesyri has joined Saudi Pro League giants Al-Ittihad from Turkish Super Lig heavyweights Fenerbahce, Afrosport reports.
The 28-year-old had been linked with a move away from Fenerbahce during the January transfer window, particularly Italian Serie A giants Napoli and Juventus.
None of that however materialised for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations runner-up who joins Al-Ittihad on a three-year contract worth a reported €15 million.

En-Nesyri scored 38 goals in 79 appearances for Fenerbahce and will look to lead the Al-Ittihad attack following French veteran Karim Benzema’s move to Saudi Pro League rivals Al-Hilal.

Meanwhile, 2018 FIFA World Cup winner N’Golo Kante had his contract with Al-Ittihad mutually terminated just like compatriot Benzema, and has now joined Fenerbahce in a swap deal with En-Nesyri.
Al-Ittihad initially failed to file the necessary paperwork for the transfer but eventually had it resolved.
