Premier League
Manchester City has initiated concrete steps to secure Rayan Aït-Nouri, one of the sensations at Wolverhampton, in what could become one of the first strategic moves of the summer. Pep Guardiola has put forward the Algerian's name as a priority to reinforce the left flank, an area that needs a definitive solution for the demanding upcoming season.
With the idea of returning Guardiola to his natural position in the heart of the defense, the 'sky blue' team has activated contacts with the player's entourage to learn about his departure conditions. Aït-Nouri, 23 years old, has had a standout season both defensively and offensively, establishing himself as a modern full-back with constant projection, imbalance, and goal-scoring ability. It's not surprising that he has attracted the attention of several top English football clubs.

Liverpool and Manchester United are also following his footsteps, although for the 'reds,' priorities lean towards other targets like Milos Kerkez. However, City seems determined not to let the Algerian international slip away, with figures around £50 million already being discussed in the offices, aware of the growing interest.
Aït-Nouri's season has not gone unnoticed. His versatility has even led him to act as a winger in some matches, increasing his market value and becoming an appealing piece for the big clubs. Faced with a brief market, with the Club World Cup as an urgent backdrop, Guardiola's team aims to secure their reinforcements quickly. The Wolves defender could be the cornerstone of a new defensive cycle at the Etihad.
