Transfer Talk: Man United make En-Nesyri striker target

Posted Saturday, December 23, 2023 by ESPN

Manchester United are tracking Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri due to Stuttgart frontman Serhou Guirassy preferring a move to Tottenham Hotspur, reports The Sun.

The Red Devils are keen to add extra quality to their squad after enduring an underwhelming season so far, as they are out of Europe and the Carabao Cup while sitting seventh in the Premier League. With Rasmus Hojlund yet to score in league action, Man United had been looking at Guirassy -- who has scored 17 Bundesliga goals this term -- but the 27-year-old would prefer to join Spurs.

En-Nesyri is now the player being most seriously considered, with the 26-year-old possibly set to be available for around £16 million and having recorded nine goals and two assists across all competitions this season. That comes with Sevilla also being out of Europe and having little hope of qualifying for next year's continental competition as they currently sit 15th in LaLiga, in addition to facing financial struggles.

The Spanish club is looking to offload players to bring down their expenses, and En-Nesyri's impressive displays for Morocco in the most recent World Cup could add to his appeal.

Meanwhile, Stuttgart are already preparing for the possible departure of Guirassy, and Sky Sports Deutschland have reported that the Bundesliga club is looking to Braga's Simon Banza. The 27-year-old would be worth between €8m and €10m having recorded 13 goals and four assists in 24 appearances across all competitions this season.
