Mohamed Ihattaren is the head of the Italian press. The Dutch-Moroccan player has not been found for a few days, wanted by his club Sampdoria who can not reach him. The former PSV Eidhoven has reportedly returned to the Netherlands and does not want to return to Italy.
Another wasted talent? Mohamed Ihattaren’s summer move to Italy turns into a nightmare and it hasn’t even been six months yet. The Moroccan-born player, who chose to represent the Netherlands, was a surprising signing from the Bianconeri in the last transfer, and before fans understood his role in the squad, the latter found himself on loan. at Sampdoria.
According to the Italian press, the 19-year-old returned to the Netherlands last week for personal reasons and has since disappeared from radar. “Literally disappeared”, writes La Gazzetta Dello Sport, which refers to “a ghost in Utrecht”. Dutch media via the same report claim he is nowhere to be found as they all looked for ways to contact him, but to no avail.
The Sampdoria coach doesn’t seem particularly affected by his demise as Ihattaren hasn’t really been in his squad so far. “ I never had it available. It hardly makes a difference to me ”, D’Aversa told the Italian daily Il Secolo XIX.
Indeed, Ihattaren has not yet played a duel for Sampdoria. The former PSV arrived in Genoa overweight and was finally physically well enough to make his debut. On September 12, he was on the bench against Inter (2-2). But due to Ihattaren’s return to the Netherlands, he has yet to make his debut and it doesn’t seem like it can happen anymore.
Ihattaren’s attitude is also called into question in Sampdoria. The player is said to have traveled frequently to the French Riviera and to Milan to visit friends, which greatly displeases his club.
Juve are now reportedly looking to find him another club outside the country, as the report says his return to Serie A is now complicated.
