Youssef En-Nesyri is concentrated with the Moroccan team to play a friendly in the United States on June 2 and, later, two qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations against South Africa and Liberia. The sevillian striker he scored the goal that gave the tie and the mathematical classification for Champions in the Wanda Metropolitano, but against Athletic on the last day he returned to the trigger when he failed three clear heads up against Unai Simón.
So in Sevilla, where Monchi prepares a revolution, A sale of the Moroccan striker this summer is not ruled out, much less. Already in January 2021, a year after his arrival from Leganés, English West Ham bid for Youssef with an offer of more than 30 million euros. That 20-21, the North African finished with an astonishing 24 official goals between LaLiga and Champions
But in the latter, marked by an annoying muscle tear and also by his participation in the African Cup, He has remained in five goals and three assists, although it is true that that injury and playing the tournament with his team left him without participating almost during half of the campaign. Lopetegui took away Youssef’s starting role in some games in the final stretch of the League and he rebelled by scoring some goals, but not enough. He will turn 25 this Wednesday, June 1.
That youth and his great campaign two years ago continue to give En-Nesyri an important poster in places where there is money, like the Premier League. So in Nervión they are waiting for offers, possibly more than one, that will serve at least to match the 20 million euros than Sevilla paid in the winter of 2020 to the pepinero club.
The problem, it already happened with the Hammers proposal, It will surely come down to whether the North African striker wants to leave or not. He has already made it clear before that he feels comfortable at the Sánchez-Pizjuán and that, a priori, He will only leave if a team with greater sporting aspirations than Sevilla arrives. Unless the salary is astronomical, it does not seem easy for Youssef to go, for example, to a club like Aston Villa, as his former teammate Diego Carlos has just done.
