Juventus look for a new midfielder

Plenty of rumours are circulating in regards to the Old Lady’s transfer market – especially in midfield. Earlier today, reports from Italy linked Douglas Luiz with a potential move to the Premier League – and Atalanta’s Ederson and Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali have been touted for a possible switch to join Igor Tudor’s side.

However, the new name is that of El Aynaoui – after an impressive 2024-25 campaign with Lens in Ligue 1.

Scoring eight goals and assisting one in the league, El Aynaoui was an important player for the Northern French side.

The 23-year-old’s contract with the Ligue 1 outfit expires in 2027, after signing for Les Sang et Or for just €600,000 in 2023 from fellow French club AS Nancy.
