Juventus target Mazraoui and push Nico Gonzalez to Atletico Madrid

Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Juventus will request a loan for Noussair Mazraoui from Manchester United, as the Bianconeri are determined to send Nico Gonzalez to Atlético Madrid, with or without Nahuel Molina.

Juventus are looking for a right wing-back, and Manchester United’s Mazraoui has emerged as their latest transfer target.

Juventus will ask for Mazraoui’s loan

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Serie A giants will ask the Red Devils for a loan move in the final days of the summer transfer window.

Juventus coach Igor Tudor is seeking to recruit a versatile player with strong attacking and defensive capabilities, as Joao Mario is still adjusting to Italian football, while Nico Gonzalez is primarily an attacking winger.

The Argentine has attracted interest from Atletico Madrid, who have been in talks with Juventus for several weeks.

Juventus are eager to include Nahuel Molina in the deal, but the ex-Udinese defender seems reluctant to leave Atletico Madrid late in the transfer window, especially with the 2026 World Cup around the corner.

Nico Gonzalez not part of Tudor’s plans

Atletico Madrid are looking for a new club for Javier Galán, and if the latter leaves, they’ll make room for Nico Gonzalez.

Juventus are open to discussing a deal even without welcoming Molina, as Nico Gonzalez is not part of Tudor’s plans.

Girona’s Arnau Martinez is also on the Bianconeri’s agenda.
