Club 'ready to move immediately' for Manchester City player – Initial loan plan in place

Juventus interested in Manchester City left-back Ait-Nouri and ready to move in January with an initial loan deal plus option to buy.

Rayan Ait-Nouri's time at Manchester City has stalled. The left-back, who joined from Wolves in 2025, managed less than 1000 minutes in the Premier League last season and has yet to play a single minute this campaign, despite impressing at the World Cup for Algeria.

Juventus have identified him as a target and are prepared to act quickly in the January window. Director Ricky Massara and CEO Giovanni Carnevali see a left-back addition as important alongside their midfield priorities. The Bianconeri's plan is to pursue an initial loan deal with an option to buy, though Manchester City's willingness to accept this structure remains unclear.

Ait-Nouri is reportedly interested in a move, but the timing presents challenges. A mid-season transfer to Italy would require adaptation time he may not receive, and English clubs could offer more favourable permanent terms than Juventus is prepared to guarantee.
