Portuguese full-back Joao Mario has reportedly asked to leave Juventus ahead of the upcoming January transfer window. According to updates shared by journalist Gianni Balzarini on his YouTube channel, the defender is said to be unhappy with his lack of playing time during the first half of the season.
Balzarini explained that Joao Mario expected a more regular role under the current management but has instead found opportunities limited, prompting him to seek a move elsewhere. His future will likely depend on what options emerge on the winter market, with Juventus now assessing possible solutions for both the player and the club.
