During this January transfer window, Juventus, who want to strengthen Luciano Spalletti's squad, are interested in signing a potential Manchester United departure.
Recent days have been turbulent at Manchester United. Ruben Amorim's departure has been confirmed and a replacement for the Portuguese manager is being sought for a six-month interim role, before a new cycle begins next summer. A situation that amplifies the uncertainty surrounding certain players.
Mazraoui could leave Manchester United
Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte, who were tipped to leave this winter, are among the winners of Amorim's departure along with Bruno Fernandes and Noussair Mazraoui. The Moroccan right-back could thus return to his right-back position, which he no longer occupied under the Portuguese manager's 3-4-3.
However, the Morocco international's future, as he competes in the AFCON semi-finals, remains completely uncertain. Indeed, between fitness setbacks and international duty, Mazraoui has played just nine matches for the Red Devils this season. Enough to consider a January departure?
Juventus want to revive Noussair Mazraoui
La Gazzetta dello Sport provided an update on his situation during this January window. “The Moroccan is waiting for his return from the Africa Cup of Nations to learn more about United's new managerial project. The former Ajax player is currently considering leaving the Premier League to participate in the World Cup with Morocco, and Juventus are interested in him,” the Italian daily reported.
It remains to be seen whether Juventus will make a move in this matter, with Noussair Mazraoui valued at €22m (£19.3m) by Transfermarkt. Manchester United could also convince him to stay, even if it is currently difficult to envision the Manchester club's long-term project.
