The Italian defender has emerged as a possible target for Juventus, who are looking to strengthen at left-back under head coach Luciano Spalletti.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Aït-Nouri is the club’s preferred option, but reaching an agreement with Manchester City could prove difficult. Udogie is therefore being considered as an alternative ahead of the winter window.
The 23-year-old has made seven appearances for Tottenham in all competitions this season and is reportedly looking for a fresh start to rebuild his confidence and match fitness after injury problems.
Juventus are familiar with the Premier League market and have recently strengthened their relationship with Tottenham through the moves of goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and midfielder Pape Matar Sarr to Turin.
Udogie joined Spurs from Udinese in 2022 for an initial fee of around €18 million, with a further €7 million potentially payable in bonuses. He spent the 2022-23 season on loan at Udinese before establishing himself in the Tottenham first team.
The defender made his senior Italy debut in October 2023 under Spalletti, who is now in charge at Juventus. However, he has not been included in an Italy squad for more than a year.
That existing relationship could be a factor if Juventus decide to pursue the move, although no agreement has been reached and the reported interest remains at an early stage.
Aït-Nouri remains the preferred candidate, but the difficulty of negotiating with City could push the Turin club towards Udogie. Juventus will continue assessing their options before deciding whether to make a formal approach.
