Juventus are interested in signing Rayan Aït-Nouri from Manchester City as the defender struggles for regular game time since joining the Premier League club. The Bianconeri are looking to strengthen their left-back position and see him as a potential option.
Juventus have been searching for new players in that role for some time. They already have several options in the squad, but they believe that Aït-Nouri could be tempted to join them, either in January or at the end of the season.

Because he rarely plays at City, Aït-Nouri could be open to a move in January. Juventus would be keen to complete a deal, as they look to add quality to their defensive options and improve the competition for places in the left-back position.
However, Juventus are not the only club monitoring the situation. According to Tuttojuve, Manchester United are the latest team to show interest in Aït-Nouri, adding competition for his signature.
The Red Devils see him as one of the best options to replace Luke Shaw and would make efforts to sign him if City are willing to sell. That interest could make it more difficult for Juventus to secure the defender, especially if other clubs also enter the race.

A move to Manchester United could be straightforward for Aït-Nouri, as he would not need to change cities or learn a new language. Staying in the Premier League would also allow him to continue playing in a league he already knows well.
However, he may prefer a fresh challenge away from English football. Juventus could offer him the opportunity to play in Serie A and compete for a club with a strong history, although they would need to convince him that they can provide regular playing time.
Juventus remain interested in Aït-Nouri, but they face competition from Manchester United and potentially other top clubs. The defender’s lack of game time at Manchester City could work in Juventus’ favour, but they will need to act quickly if they want to secure his signature.
