Juventus’ reported deal for Youssef En-Nesyri has hit a bit of a road block. Or probably more than just a minor one since it is the player himself that is holding up the deal from being completed on a day when a lot of previous reporting thought it would be done by now.
That’s mainly due to the player himself.
According to reports from ilBianconero’s Romeo Agresti, Sky Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio and TuttoJuve’s Mirko Di Natale, En-Nesyri has not yet accepted the move to Juventus and is still trying
to decide as to whether he wants to move to Turin during the winter transfer window. A big part of that is because his former club, Sevilla, has reportedly come back into the fold and is now an option for him to go to this month. That comes after Juventus and Fenerbahce had all but agreed to a deal on Friday for En-Nesyri, with the Moroccan striker joining the Bianconeri on a sixth-month loan deal — with a very high loan fee of around €5 million for the second half of the 2025-26 season — with an option to buy worth upward of €20 million come the summertime.
Agresti has since followed up his initial report by saying Juventus will not sit back and wait for things to play out much longer, basically setting a deadline of Monday for the deal to be closed or to move on and potentially begin pursuing another striker target to bring in before the winter transfer window closes on Feb. 2 in Italy.
This is a developing story and this post will be updated as more information becomes available.
