Fenerbahçe to Cash In on Amrabat and En-Nesyri
The Turkish giants are aiming to collect at least €60 million in transfer fees as they reshape their squad, according to Türkiye Newspaper .
Amrabat, currently on loan from Fiorentina, is expected to see his €13 million buy option triggered before being flipped for €20 million, netting Fenerbahçe a tidy €7 million profit.
En-Nesyri, meanwhile, is reportedly close to securing a €35 million move to Saudi Arabia. A blockbuster deal, but one that comes after a dramatic fall from grace.
When the Moroccan striker arrived from Sevilla last summer, fans believed they'd landed the missing piece – a target man No.9 ready to deliver titles. And for a while, he looked every bit the part, firing 26 goals and providing 7 assists in 47 appearances. From August to February, he was electric.
But since March 2, when he last scored against Antalyaspor, En-Nesyri has gone cold. However, the Moroccan hitman finally silenced the doubters on Friday night, finding the net in Fenerbahçe's emphatic 4-1 away victory over Başakşehir.
It was En-Nesyri's 17th league goal of the season, adding to his four assists, keeping him firmly in the race for the Golden Boot. His strike came as part of a dominant second-half display, as Fenerbahçe closed the gap to leaders Galatasaray to five points with three matches remaining.
The goal ended a two-month drought just days after the forward was booed off in the derby defeat to Beşiktaş. It was a much-needed response from the 27-year-old, who had faced heavy criticism in recent weeks.
Even José Mourinho, who once defended him publicly, now faces growing pressure.
'En-Nesyri scored 26 goals without taking penalties. He went through a challenging period during Ramadan, where he lost some of his form, but he is starting to get back to his best. He has proven that he is regaining his physical condition. He will play a key role in the remaining seven matches of the season, without a doubt,' Mourinho insisted earlier this month.
With veteran Edin Dzeko and midfielder Sebastian Szymanski also tipped for €5 million exits each, Fenerbahçe's summer clear-out looks inevitable. Tags: FenerbahceSofyan AmrabatYoussef En-Nesyri

Ben Saddik vs Rigters: When and How to Watch Glory 103
Moroccan kickboxer Jamal Ben Saddik is set to make his return in the Last Heavyweight Standing tournament, facing Dutch fighter Levi Rigters in the Round of 16 at the main event of GLORY 103. The bout will take place on August 23 at Rotterdam Ahoy in the Netherlands. The two fighters were originally scheduled to meet in 2022, but the fight was cancelled after a clash between supporters. The fight will be available to watch on StarTimes Sports – which airs GLORY events across Africa – on DAZN, and on GLORY's official streaming channels. The winner will advance to the year-end grand finale of GLORY's Last Heavyweight Standing tournament. Ben Saddik, nicknamed 'The Goliath,' holds a professional record of 38 wins, 10 losses, and 29 KOs. He famously defeated heavyweight king Rico Verhoeven with a second-round TKO in his debut back in 2011. Jamal has overcome his own battles outside the ring. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2012 and underwent a serious five-hour operation in Belgium in March 2024. Now 34, Jamal stands 2.05m tall, weighs 117.5kg, and is the biggest active fighter on the GLORY roster—rivalled only by former heavyweight champion Semmy Schilt in size. Ben Saddik is known for his aggressive, pressure-heavy style, overwhelming opponents with power punches and leaving little room for a counterattack. In the opposite corner, Levi 'The Judge' Rigters is a sharp and efficient Dutch kickboxer with a record of 19 wins, 3 losses, and 9 KOs. He is currently ranked #1 in the GLORY heavyweight division. Standing 2m tall, weighing 112.9kg, and aged 30, Rigters is the former Enfusion super heavyweight champion, a title he clinched after beating Martin Pacas in October 2018, before moving to GLORY in 2020. Jamal's raw power and relentless striking against Levi's precision and composure promise a true clash of styles. Tactically, the edge may lean toward Rigters—but Jamal's brute-force style is tailor-made for the heavyweight chaos. MWN predicts a third-round knockout for Jamal Ben Saddik.
