Newcastle United is reportedly keen on signing Youssef En-Nesyri from Sevilla. The Magpies are looking to strengthen their attacking options ahead of their return to the Champions League. En-Nesyri, a 26-year-old Moroccan international, has been in fine form for both club and country, scoring 18 goals in the recently concluded season and helping Sevilla to win the UEFA Europa League.
Sevilla, facing financial difficulties, are open to selling En-Nesyri and have placed a price tag of around €50 million on the striker. Newcastle has made contact to discuss the potential transfer, with reports suggesting they might be willing to pay up to €35 million (TheHardTackle.com) (TheHardTackle.com) (TheHardTackle.com).
The move is part of Newcastle’s broader strategy to enhance their squad for the upcoming Premier League and Champions League campaigns, with manager Eddie Howe eager to add more firepower to his forward line (Yardbarker).
Newcastle United are reportedly targeting Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri, who currently earns £58,000 a week. The Moroccan forward, who scored 19 goals in all competitions last season, is also attracting interest from Aston Villa and West Ham United (TheHardTackle.com) (CaughtOffside) (Yardbarker).
Sevilla is facing financial difficulties, making it likely that they will sell En-Nesyri, especially since he has only one year left on his contract. Newcastle sees him as a potential partner or replacement for Alexander Isak, or even as a replacement for Callum Wilson, who might leave the club this summer (TheHardTackle.com).
Newcastle’s competition includes West Ham, who need a reliable striker to replace the inconsistent Michail Antonio, and Aston Villa, who want to add more attacking options alongside Ollie Watkins. With Newcastle’s significant financial resources, they might have an edge in securing En-Nesyri’s transfer (CaughtOffside) (Yardbarker).
