Al-Nasiri on the verge of leaving "Al-Amid".
Saudi media reports have revealed new developments regarding the future of Moroccan international Youssef En-Nesyri with Al-Ittihad Club, following a short period that did not meet the expected success since his joining the "Tigers" in the last winter transfer window.
Saudi sports critic Mohammed Al-Bukairi reported that one of the clubs in the "Roshen" league has entered into preliminary negotiations with Al-Ittihad's management to acquire the 28-year-old striker on loan during the upcoming summer transfer window.
These moves come amid the dissatisfaction of "The Captain" fans with what the "Atlas Lion" has offered, who was brought in to fill the void left by Frenchman Karim Benzema. However, his experience has not received the desired approval in the stands of the shining jewel.
Looking at En-Nesyri's documented statistics since his arrival in the Saudi league from Turkish club Fenerbahçe, it appears that the Moroccan striker has struggled with offensive efficiency.
Official statistics indicate that he has scored only seven goals during the matches he played in the Al-Ittihad jersey, a rate far from his usual numbers that he recorded in Spanish stadiums, especially with Sevilla, where he played 196 matches and scored 73 goals, winning two UEFA Europa League titles with them. This explains the dissatisfaction prevailing among Al-Ittihad fans towards the striker, whose market value previously reached 40 million euros.
Observers believe that En-Nesyri's potential departure on loan within "Roshen" could be a lifeline for the player to regain his scoring touch away from the pressures of Jeddah, especially since he remains a key figure in the Moroccan national team, being the first player to score in two consecutive World Cup editions and having 20 international goals.
Sports circles are awaiting what the coming days will reveal regarding the player's destination, who has a valid contract with Al-Ittihad. However, the summer "guillotine" now threatens his continuation with the "Tigers" amid the club's desire to inject new blood capable of returning the team to the podiums of victory.
