Saudi media: Riyadh Victory will sign Moroccan center En-Nesyri who defeated Cristiano Ronaldo > instead

According to the latest news released on Twitter by Saudi media NFC1World, Riyadh Victory, which has not won a title since Ronaldo's arrival, is close to signing Moroccan center En-Nesyri, who eliminated Ronaldo-led Portugal in the 2022 World Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo's contract with Riyadh Victory expires at the end of June 2025, leaving only seven months left. On a competitive level, Riyadh Victory can no longer rely on Cristiano Ronaldo's centre-forward style to compete for the title, and the team needs a centre-forward who is in his prime. En-Nesyri is a full-time center forward, which completely coincides with the current position of Ronaldo, and it is impossible for the two to play as substitutes in the Saudi Super League, because it is very likely that Riyadh Victory will sign En-Nesyri to replace Ronaldo, which is also preparing for the departure of the 39-year-old Ronaldo.

En-Nesyri joined Fenerbahce from Sevilla for a transfer fee of €19.5 million in the summer window of 2024, but this season Mourinho's Fenerbahce is not competitive, falling out of the Turkish Super League title, exiting the Champions League qualifying round, and being relegated to the Europa League, the team is currently ranked 21st in the Europa League stage. If you can't compete for the championship in the Turkish Super League, it is better to go to the Saudi Super League to make good money.

The 27-year-old En-Nesyri, who is 1.88 meters tall and a left-footed center forward, has a contract with Fenerbahce until 2029, and the player is valued at 22 million euros in Germany. En-Nesyri has made 17 appearances for Fenerbahce in all competitions so far this season, eight of them starts, contributing four goals and two assists.
