More attractive players, louder names and footballers with richer careers have been coming to Turkish football, especially in recent years, but none of them were paid as much as Mario Jardel in the summer of 2000. Galatasaray then paid Porto 17,050,000 euros for the Brazilian centre-forward, which was an unattainable figure in the Super League. Until Youssef En-Nesyri arrived in Istanbul this Thursday and broke a record that is almost two and a half decades old!⚡️ İşareti aldı, aramıza katıldı. Ailemize hoş geldin Youssef En-Nesyri 🪐 pic.twitter.com/3QMGPrIxc6— Fenerbahçe SK (@Fenerbahce) July 25, 2024 Very transparently, as Turkish clubs usually do when they make big deals, Fenerbahçe revealed the details of the biggest transfer in the history of Turkish football. As stated in the announcement, the Moroccan striker cost the nineteen-time champion of the country 19,500,000 euros, and the Istanbul great will pay that amount to Sevilla in eight installments over the next four years. The Spanish Relevo adds that the amount could increase further, because according to his information, the Andalusian team kept ten percent of the next sale.##NAJAVA_MECA_8234422##The player himself didn’t fare too badly either. According to reliable Turkish journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, he will earn 4,000,000 euros net per season until the summer of June 2029, he would also receive bonuses depending on club and individual performance.It remains to be seen what status Edin Dzeko will have with Jose Mourinho after the arrival of the much younger En-Nesyri, because even though he is 39 years old, the Bosnian striker showed just three days ago with a hat-trick against Lugano in the first match of the second round of Champions League qualification that there is still gunpowder in his legs. After all, he finished last season as the second top scorer in the league with 21 goals, just behind Mauro Icardi.pic.twitter.com/s6Cg0FKONi— Fenerbahçe SK (@Fenerbahce) July 24, 2024 En-Nesyri had an effective last season as well. In fact, the second most effective in his career, he finished it with 20 goals in all competitions and thus attracted the attention of numerous clubs. Next to Fener, Roma showed the most interest, but could not match the financial conditions offered by the Turkish club, which thus completed the fifth reinforcement of this summer. Previously, Oguz Aydin, Levent Mercan, Cenk Tosun and Allan Saint-Maximin arrived in Mourinho’s team.
