Manchester City Transfers
Manchester City is nearing a significant agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers for the transfer of left-back Rayan Aït-Nouri. As reported by ESPN, the deal is reportedly valued at around €40 million (approximately $45.7 million). In a notable development, Aït-Nouri has been granted permission to leave the Algerian national team, which is preparing to face Rwanda on Thursday, in order to undergo a medical examination and finalize the transfer process.
Player Background and Expectations
The 23-year-old player, who has accumulated 157 appearances for Wolves since his loan signing from Angers in 2020, will become Manchester City’s second signing of the summer, joining midfielder Tijjani Reijnders. It is anticipated that both players will be included in Pep Guardiola’s roster for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. Manchester City plans to travel to their training facility in Florida next week, gearing up for their initial group match against the Moroccan club Wydad AC on June 18.
Looking Ahead
With an eye on efficiency, City is eager to wrap up as many transfers as feasible before their journey to the United States. The club continues to explore options, showing interest in other talents such as:
- Lyon forward Rayan Cherki
- Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White
- Juventus‘ Andrea Cambiaso, who is a full-back
Squad Updates
In related news, Jack Grealish has been informed that he will not be part of the squad as he seeks a potential exit from the club this summer. Similarly, Kyle Walker, who recently concluded his loan at AC Milan, will not be included in the upcoming squad either.
