Juventus rival Monaco, Schalke for young Ligue 1 sensation

Juventus rival Monaco, Schalke for young Ligue 1 sensation

Juventus are keeping up their good work on the youth front: as reported by l’Équipe, the Turinese outfit is now scouting out Rayan Ait-Nouri, the young Angers star who is already attracting plenty of attention continent-wide.

The French paper claims that the 17-year-old left-back was recently scouted by the Bianconeri, who also sent feelers to Stéphane Moulin’s side in order to test the waters.

The youngster has a deal until 2021, however, and has already been the subject of a rejected €8 million offer from Monaco. Schalke 04 are also known to be very interested.

Monaco’s plan wasn’t to keep Ait-Nouri, anyway, the idea being that they would loan the young sensation out to Cercle Bruges, a club with whom they have a close working relationship.

The youngster has already attracted attention by joining the first team in training and showing a lot of maturity, as can seen in the news report below.
