Story byJuventus in talks to sign Fenerbache striker Youssef En-Nesyri on loanFootball TodayFri, January 23, 2026 at 5:20 AM UTC·1 min readJuventus are reportedly in talks to sign Fenerbache striker Youssef En-Nesyri in a loan deal in January (h/t Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano). The Bianconeri have also proposed a buy option at the end of the season, while covering the Moroccan internationals’ wages.

Juventus sporting director Marco Ottolini is heading the negotiations and has scheduled a face-to-face meeting with En-Nesyri, who has returned to Turkey after the AFCON 2025 tournament. The Serie A giants are in dire need of a new centre-forward due to their attacking crisis. Their strategy to invest in Lois Openda and Jonathan David has backfired due to their underwhelming performances. Meanwhile, Dusan Vlahovic, who has been sidelined until March with an adductor injury, is expected to part ways with Old Lady when his contract expires at the end of the season.

The 28-year-old enjoyed a spectacular 2024/25 campaign, bagging 30 goals and seven assists in all competitions for the Turkish giants. He has found the net seven times in 15 league appearances this term. En-Nesyri wasn’t a regular starter for the runner-up Morocco in the AFCON 2025 due to Ayoub El Kaabi’s presence. The former Sevilla star will be enticed with the prospect of playing in the Champions League with the Bianconeri, while also having a great opportunity to be their regular starter.
