Samuel Mbangula recently became the Red Devil, following a good start to the season with Juventus. But he could already change creameries this winter.
Samuel Earl (20 years old) was one of the sensations of the start of the season at Juventus. With 3 assists and a goal in his first two matches, the winger was the surprise of coach Thiago Motta, before returning a little – and quite logically – to the role once the transfers at the end of the transfer window arrived.
His performances, however, earned him a place in Gill Swerts’ U21 team and, at the last rally, the Red Devils group, somewhat to everyone’s surprise. A selection all the more surprising since Mbangula did not take part in the game against Italy and Israel, thus depriving Swerts of a potential starter for… nothing.
But this international A status has further increased his rating, and Juventus could well benefit from it. Indeed, as we had already relayed a few weeks ago (read here), the Old Lady would really need funds to recruit in the defensive sector.
According to TuttosportMbangula could now count on interest from Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga. Despite a recent extension until 2028 at Juventus, an offer between 8 and 10 million euros could be enough to attract the Belgian neo-international.
For Mbangula, this will perhaps be a blessing in disguise: since his resounding debut, the winger trained at Anderlecht has gone down the hierarchy and has only appeared (briefly) in the game 4 times in the last 7 matches.
