Mario Mitaj’s name is once again back in fashion at Juventus. After the previous transfer window, where the Albanian defender was linked with a potential move to the Bianconeri, the story appears to be continuing into this upcoming market as well.
According to Tuttosport, Juventus are considering Mitaj as a potential replacement for Andrea Cambiaso. This isn’t the first time such a scenario has been discussed, but this time, the circumstances are notably different. Mitaj is no longer owned by Lokomotiv Moscow — his rights now belong to Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad, which could change the dynamics of a possible transfer.
Juventus are reportedly also looking at Nuno Tavares for the left-back position. However, doubts persist within the club regarding the Portuguese player’s fit and reliability. As a result, Mario Mitaj has re-entered their shortlist as a more promising and potentially safer option.
The coming weeks will be decisive in understanding whether Juventus will move forward in their pursuit of the 20-year-old Albanian talent, who continues to rise in prominence on the European stage.
