He was one of the best young midfielders of the Netherlands, Raiola brought him to Turin, then he lost among a thousand stunts. And now Italy could embrace its talent
Sometimes they return. Perhaps. Of him, the traces had almost missed. Still, none of the insiders has ever doubted a single instant of his football talent, crystalline and brazen. Genius who was lost or was thrown away. Yet that of the Dutch left -handed Mohamed Ihattaren is a parable, an outward journey (and hopefully) return from hell. Now, on the 23 -year -old midfielder who has already passed through Juve and Samp already in Italy, Sassuolo has set his eyes. In fact, the Emilians would like to snatch him from the Rkc Waalwiijk, a club just relegated to the Dutch second division. But let’s go in order.

At 17, Ihattaren is considered the PSV star, the Enfant Prodige of Dutch football and among the most attentive young people in Europe, not surprisingly Mino Raiola decides to focus on him and takes him under his wing. But something is enhanced immediately. The sudden death of his father for a tumor destabilizes him and makes him fall into depression. After the Lockdown for Covid he presents himself on the field overweight and his struggles do not help. The result? The PSV passes it down to Juve for 2 million, despite its evaluation was much higher. But if Raiola and the bianconeri believed they could frame him, so it was not. In August 2021 Ihattaren is loaned to Sampdoria, but here (literally) it disappears. He loses his tracks, does not respond to the phone. They say both in Holland because being close to his mother, others speak of one of his possible retreats, is in fact that Sampdoria discharges him and Juve recites him in Holland, at Ajax.

But here too, nothing. The class is there and can be seen. But the condition never comes. To help him, the former Inter Sneijder also takes the field. But also Wes throws the sponge “was serious two days, then he started to make his head again. I closed it”. Mohammed finds a team in Türkiye at Samsunsport but does not rake a presence, as well as in 2023-24 at Slavia Prague: nothing at all. In the meantime he collects accusations of domestic violence against his girlfriend and having participated in a threat complete with arrest by the police. But signs of rebirth come with his stay at the Waalwijk with whom 17 tokens and 3 goals rake. Despite the relegation, Ihattaren when he turns on, shines. It is his brazen talent, we have already written it. The one on which Sassuolo has (re) put his eyes. And if Mohamed really defeated his demons, well, then, Serie A will be able to (finally) to see the light of his star.
