Juventus continues to keep a close eye on the international transfer market and is once again exploring a lead that has its roots in the past. According to reports in *La Gazzetta dello Sport*, interest has indeed been rekindled at Juventus for Rayan Ait-Nouri, the left-back for Manchester City and the Algerian national team, who has been identified as a potential reinforcement for the wing ahead of the second half of the season.

Juventus’ interest in Ait-Nouri is nothing new. The Old Lady had in fact been tracking the player several years ago, when he was taking his first steps in professional soccer with Angers in Ligue 1. Since then, his career has continued to grow steadily, attracting the attention of numerous European scouts.

In 2020, the fullback moved to the Premier League to join Wolverhampton, where he played through 2025, impressing with his attacking skills and ability to cover the entire left flank—so much so that he convinced Manchester City to sign him for last season. His time with the Citizens, however, did not fully live up to expectations.

Despite being part of one of Europe’s most competitive teams, Ait-Nouri has never managed to become a central part of the coaching staff’s plans; moreover, his playing time has been further reduced at the start of this season. This situation is prompting the player to seriously consider a change of scenery in order to regain regular playing time and a more important role.

Juventus is watching the situation unfold with interest, though it is aware that the competition is bound to be fierce. In fact, several Premier League clubs are also keeping a close eye on the Algerian fullback, ready to step in when Manchester City decides to officially put him on the market.
