Roma Keeping Tabs on Highly Coveted Sevilla Forward

Roma are determined to add a prolific striker this summer and have revived their pursuit of Youssef En-Nesyri. He has been on their radar since early in the summer and also in previous windows, Gianluca Di Marzio relays.

The Giallorossi face competition from Fenerbahçe, led by their former coach José Mourinho, and the ambitious Al Qadsiah. They have already swayed Real Madrid’s Nacho. The Saudi team is preparing a particularly lucrative offer.

Sevilla want €20M for En-Nesyri, which could be feasible for Roma. They will leave the choice entirely up to the player. He’s likely to depart since there’s just a year left on his contract. He has posted 20 goals and 3 assists in 41 matches in 2024/2025, one of his most prolific campaigns.

The 27-year-old has been in Andalusia since 2020 after starting his career at Malaga and Leganes. He has racked up 196 appearances, hitting the net on 73 occasions. He has 73 caps and 20 goals with Morocco under his belt. The marksman has contributed to winning the Europa League twice.

The Giallorossi, which are trying to offload Tammy Abraham, have also been linked to Villarreal’s Alexander Sorloth, who’s more expensive, and Metz’s George Mikautadze.

Our Take on Roma and En-Nesyri

It looks like they aim to land a sure thing to lead their attack rather than rolling the dice with a youngster with potential. It’s somewhat understandable even though not particularly juicy. It remains to be seen whether a strong no.9 and a top winger are mutually exclusive economically speaking.
