<p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6397034/2025/06/02/man-city-transfers-rayan-ait-nouri/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a> states that City are pursuing a deal for the left-back, who can also play as a left midfielder or wing-back. The report adds that while agreements haven't been struck yet over a transfer, all parties 'expect' a move to happen.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The 23-year-old, who has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/rayan-ait-nouri-arne-slot-first-signing-liverpool-wolves/blte65a153eca612fa5" target="_blank">linked with Liverpool</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-wolves-left-back-january-move-psg-star-nuno-mendes/blt6b6cd72d9dfd6a7d" target="_blank">Manchester United</a> in the past, could be the latest piece in City's latest rebuild under manager Pep Guardiola. After splashing out <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/winners-losers-2025-january-transfer-window/blt467ff12d4cf0264b" target="_blank">£180 million ($223m) in January on signings</a>, more big moves are expected this summer as City try and regain their Premier League dominance.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Ait-Nouri has made 157 appearances for Wolves since joining from Angers, initially on loan, in 2020. This season, he scored five goals and added seven assists in 41 games in all competitions as his side finished 16th in the Premier League.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>City are next in action at the Club World Cup later this month, where they face Juventus, Al Ain, and Wydad AC in the group stages. It remains to be seen if Ait-Nouri, whose contract runs until 2026 but Wolves have the option to extend a further year, will be signed before then.</p>
