Rayan Aït Nouri faces Manchester City bench amid Juventus interest
Rayan Aït Nouri is facing a challenging period at Manchester City, characterized by a significant lack of playing time in the Premier League. Despite recording three assists in just two appearances across national and European competitions, the Algerian international has not featured in any league matches following five matchdays.
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has reportedly viewed the player more as a winger than a left-back, a tactical shift that has not yet resulted in more frequent starts.
Due to this impasse, Juventus is reportedly prepared to revive its interest in the 25-year-old during the upcoming January transfer window. After an unsuccessful attempt to sign him this summer, the Italian club is monitoring his situation closely, banking on his lack of regular minutes to facilitate a move. Aït Nouri is currently under contract with Manchester City until June 2030, with his market value estimated at approximately €40 million.
