Juventus revives its interest in Ait-Nouri

Juventus is expected to restart its work on Manchester City left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri in the January transfer window. The Bianconeri management tried to bring the player in during the summer as well, but at that time his club was not willing to let him go.

The situation now appears to have changed. The player has made only four appearances this season, all of them in the Champions League or the Carabao Cup. Despite registering three assists in 168 minutes, he has not received a single minute in Premier League matches. Manchester City signed the Algeria international from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer of 2025 for 36.8 million euros plus bonuses. Even so, it seems he is not part of head coach Enzo Maresca's plans.

Juventus has very limited resources in January. Due to its settlement agreement with UEFA, the club has to operate with a restricted budget. For this reason, Juventus is aiming to complete a loan deal for Ait-Nouri. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Lyon's Argentine player Nicolas Tagliafico and Sporting CP's Maxi Araujo are also among the alternatives for the left-back position.
