Once considered a rising star within the club, the 21-year-old is now reportedly free to leave, with a move likely to materialize as early as the first week of June.

Under manager Thiago Motta, Mbangula initially showed flashes of brilliance and looked destined for a breakout season. However, in recent weeks, his role has diminished, leading to speculation that a change of scenery may be best for his development.
For Juventus, his departure could be the first step in a larger strategy to offload players, rejuvenate the squad, and prepare for a new era under a potential new managerial setup.
