Man City Set to Sign Ait-Nouri From Wolves

Manchester City are closing in on signing Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri for around £50 million, with Wolves expected to buy out a 50% sell-on clause held by Angers before completing the transfer. Ait-Nouri, 23, has impressed with his attacking and technical abilities, making him a key target for Pep Guardiola as City seek to resolve their left-back issue since Benjamin Mendy's departure. City have previously used Josko Gvardiol and Nico O'Reilly as makeshift options, but plan to shift Gvardiol to centre-back and allow O'Reilly to develop elsewhere. Both clubs are optimistic about reaching an agreement soon, with Ait-Nouri eager to make the move and Wolves already searching for his replacement. The deal is expected to be finalized before City's FIFA Club World Cup campaign begins in mid-June. This transfer is part of City's broader efforts to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
