Mohamed Ihattaren will in principle return to Juventus in January. The twenty-year-old playmaker, however, is looking for a solution together with his supervisors.
Ajax recently announced that it will not remove the transfer clause in Ihattaren’s rental contract. At Juventus, which previously took him over from PSV, he is still fixed until mid-2025. “For the time being, it is the intention that Mo will go to Turin. But we are investigating other options where he can go. We are confident that everything will be fine,” Mo Nouri, who has taken the midfielder in house, responds in De Telegraaf . “I am with him every day, but Ali Dursun, the agent of Frenkie de Jong and Donny van de Beek, among others, does the business part.”
Ihattaren finds it a pity that he is leaving Ajax through the back door. “Especially that I have disappointed people, such as Gerald Vanenburg. He picked me up and put a lot of time into me. But after Marc Overmars left, it was different at Ajax. And because the lack of my father played up again, it blocked in my head. ‘Come tomorrow, well,’ I would think. I wasn’t hard enough on myself.”
Nouri, the brother of ex-Ajacied Abdelhak Nouri, also finds it a pity that he did not run into Ihattaren earlier. “I would have loved it if Mo had taken the place of Appie. And I’m sure it would have worked if he had found all the mental peace he has as a human being.”
