Juventus are reportedly reigniting their interest in Manchester United right-back Noussair Mazraoui while Everton eyes Genoa’s Brooke Norton-Cuffy. Betting impact: a Mazraoui switch to Juventus would likely strengthen Juve’s right flank, shortening odds on Juventus conceding fewer goals and making bets on Juventus clean sheets or Mazraoui to start more attractive; his departure could weaken Man United defensive market value.
Juventus Restart Chase for Mazraoui as January Window Approaches
Noussair Mazraoui has fallen down the pecking order at Manchester United, registering only nine appearances and 443 minutes under manager Ruben Amorim. Now away with his national team for AFCON, the 28-year-old right-back is reportedly back on Juventus’ radar after the club first sounded him out last August.
Mazraoui’s Situation at Old Trafford
Limited playing time and international commitments have fed speculation over Mazraoui’s future. Juventus see the Morocco international as a low-risk target to bolster the right flank, given his experience and ability to attack from deep.
Other Right-Back Targets: Norton-Cuffy and Boey
Juventus are also weighing alternatives for the right side. Genoa’s Brooke Norton-Cuffy has attracted strong interest from Everton, potentially complicating Juventus’ pursuit. Sacha Boey, currently with Bayern Munich, is another name under consideration as the club assesses options that blend youth and immediate readiness.
Midfield Options Take a Back Seat
While Juventus have not ruled out signing a central midfielder, recent upticks in form from existing midfielders — combined with Weston McKennie’s versatility — may shift priority to reinforcing the full-back positions instead of adding another midfielder in January.
Transfer Outlook and Tactical Implications
A move for Mazraoui would give Juventus greater depth and tactical flexibility on the right, potentially allowing the coach to adopt a more proactive wide approach. Conversely, failure to land primary targets like Norton-Cuffy could force Juventus to accelerate alternative deals.
What This Means for Bettors
Market impact is likely: a confirmed Mazraoui arrival would increase Juventus’ defensive and right-flank reliability, which could shorten odds on Juventus conceding fewer goals, improve clean-sheet probabilities, and make bets on Mazraoui to start or feature more appealing. If Mazraoui departs Manchester United, punters should reassess Man United defensive props and team futures accordingly.
