The Italian newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport" revealed that Moroccan international Youssef En-Nesyri, the striker for Turkish club Fenerbahçe, has become one of the top names on Napoli's shortlist as the team seeks urgent solutions to its ongoing attacking crisis that has persisted since the beginning of 2026.

The newspaper explained that Napoli's sports management sees En-Nesyri as a suitable option to strengthen the forward line, especially given the team's declining offensive effectiveness over the last four matches, during which their strikers failed to score any goals. This has prompted coach Antonio Conte to demand quick reinforcements during the current transfer window.

The source added that Naciri's situation within Fenerbahçe could facilitate his departure during the transfer market, noting that the player does not mind taking on a new experience in the Italian league. This increases Napoli's chances of making an official move, provided the appropriate financial and administrative conditions are met.

According to the Italian newspaper, Napoli's management is first required to offload one of their attacking players due to restrictions imposed on the club's transfer market activities. It is likely that the potential deal will be a loan, pending developments in the coming days.

It is worth noting that Youssef En-Nesyri, 28 years old, is under contract with Fenerbahçe until the summer of 2029. His market value is estimated at around 22 million euros, with the potential to increase if he continues to deliver outstanding performances with the Moroccan national team during the remainder of the Africa Cup of Nations.
