Turin giants Juventus have once again set their sights on Manchester United defender Noussair Mazraoui.
Details: According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian powerhouse is considering the Moroccan as one of the potential reinforcements for their defensive flanks amid ongoing squad restructuring.
Juventus are evaluating several candidates for the full-back position — alongside Mazraoui, the shortlist includes Sacha Boey from Bayern and Brooke Norton-Cuffy from Genoa. However, Mazraoui's experience at the highest level makes him a particularly appealing option for the Bianconeri.
To recap, Noussair Mazraoui joined Manchester United in the summer of 2024 from Bayern for £12.8 million, but has yet to establish himself as a key player for the team. This season, he has featured in just nine matches across all competitions, starting six of them. His playing time has also been restricted due to international duty and participation in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Meanwhile, Manchester United have yet to make a final decision regarding the player's future. The defender's contract runs until 2028, with an option to extend for another season. For now, the Turin club continues to monitor the situation closely.
Reminder: Juventus are also interested in signing AC Milan midfielder Loftus-Cheek.
