Ait-Nouri has said YES

Juventus are preparing to strengthen their left flank during the January transfer window, with several names under consideration as the Bianconeri look to add quality, versatility and experience to their squad.

One of the most intriguing options is Rayan Ait-Nouri, the Algerian full-back who has struggled to secure regular playing time at Manchester City under manager Enzo Maresca.

Juventus are monitoring his situation closely and believe an opportunity could emerge in the coming weeks ahead of the winter market.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Ait-Nouri has reportedly expressed an interest in moving to Turin. Juventus are evaluating the possibility of making a move, particularly if a financially attractive formula, such as a loan deal, becomes available.

However, despite the growing interest, there is currently no agreement between the clubs and no confirmed negotiations underway.

Much will depend on Manchester City’s willingness to consider his departure and the conditions required to complete a deal.

Tagliafico and Maxi Araújo Also on Juventus’ Radar

Ait-Nouri is not the only name on Juventus’ shortlist. Nicolas Tagliafico remains a potential alternative, with the Lyon defender having attracted the club’s attention since the previous transfer window.

The Argentine international could offer valuable experience and defensive reliability, qualities Juventus consider important as they look to improve the team’s balance and strengthen their options on the left side.

Meanwhile, the Bianconeri are also keeping an eye on Maxi Araújo. Club representatives have reportedly watched the Sporting CP player’s performances at close range, adding another possible candidate to the list of targets being assessed ahead of January.

Juan Cabal’s Future Could Be Key

Any potential arrival on the left flank could depend on Juventus making room within their current squad. The club are keen to free up space, including on the wage bill, before committing to another investment.

Juan Cabal appears to be one of the main candidates who could leave Turin, having already come close to an exit during the summer transfer window.

A departure for the Colombian defender would give Juventus greater flexibility to pursue a replacement or reinforce the position with a different profile.

Nevertheless, everything will depend on the offers received and whether an agreement can be reached that satisfies all parties.

For now, Ait-Nouri remains an intriguing possibility, with Tagliafico and Araújo also under consideration. Juventus are continuing to assess their options, and the coming weeks could prove decisive in shaping their January transfer strategy.
