Two Italian clubs are monitoring Noussair Mazraoui

Italy is keeping an eye on Noussair Mazraoui. The Manchester United full-back remains of interest to Juventus and AC Milan, who could try their luck in the next winter transfer window. But both clubs will have to contend with the English side’s stance, as it is reportedly unwilling to let its defender leave.

Mazraoui remains a target in Serie A

According to The Daily Briefing, officials at Juventus and AC Milan are monitoring the Moroccan international’s situation as January approaches. The Lombardy club had already expressed interest in the player during the last summer transfer window.

Having joined Old Trafford in August 2024 after his spell at Bayern Munich, Mazraoui is a particularly versatile player. He can play in different defensive positions, an asset that explains why both Italian clubs are keeping an eye on his situation. Teams from the Saudi Pro League are also reportedly interested in signing him.

Manchester United are standing firm

Even so, a departure does not appear to be on the cards at the Manchester club. Under contract until June 2028, the 29-year-old defender remains a player Manchester United want to keep. This season, Mazraoui has featured in eight official matches and provided one assist. He made 20 appearances in all competitions last season.

The Moroccan’s situation comes as Manchester United are going through a difficult period on the pitch. After ten league matches, the Red Devils sit 18th in the Premier League with eight points and just one win. At this stage, the Manchester club’s determination to keep him is the main obstacle for Juventus and AC Milan.
