Hélène Hendriks knows that Mohamed Ihattaren is no longer training at Juventus. Guest in the program Inside today she says that the attacking midfielder was ‘on the way’ two months ago, but that he is no longer training. “I think Juventus is building a file,” concludes the presenter.

reported on March 19 Tutto sport that Juventus considered signing Ihattaren for the club’s Next Gen team in the Italian Serie C. A month earlier, Ihattaren arrived in Turin and regularly showed via social media that he is working hard on his fitness and condition. Juventus was satisfied with the work done by the midfielder-cum-winger and wanted to motivate him with a place in the match squad of the second team.

The situation has now turned 180 degrees, Hendriks reports. “He was on quite a good path two months ago. He was supposed to play there with Juventus Next Gen in Serie C. But he’s back now, not training anymore and I think at Juventus they are building a file to say goodbye to to take him.” An eternal shame, the table guest concludes: “I don’t think anyone has had as many opportunities as he has. And he’s still only 21.”

Colleague Johan Derksen fears a tough future for Ihattaren. “At PSV and Ajax, everyone has done their very best to keep that boy up and I think that Juventus has also tried seriously. Forget it. That, of course, ends badly financially for that young man. He’s 21 and he’s made a few bucks, but he’ll be through it in no time, because he lives like a movie star with his crazy cars. It ends up in the gutter and then you know what will happen”, says Derksen.
