Manchester City have confirmed the £31 million signing of Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolves, with the deal potentially rising to £36.3 million. The 24-year-old Algerian left-back signs a five-year contract, keeping him at the Etihad until 2030.
City accelerated the deal ahead of the transfer deadline to ensure Ait-Nouri is eligible for the Club World Cup in the USA this weekend. Ait-Nouri, who began his Premier League journey with Wolves in 2020, was one of their most consistent performers, starting 37 of 38 league matches last season, scoring four goals and providing seven assists. He has 17 international caps for Algeria and tallied 12 goals and 19 assists across 157 appearances for Wolves.
His former club, Angers, will receive around £9.7m through a sell-on clause. Ait-Nouri expressed his excitement, calling the move “a dream come true.” City’s director of football, Hugo Viana, praised the signing and sees him as a valuable long-term asset. City are also targeting Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki before the transfer window closes.
