Sources: City on brink of agreeing Aït-Nouri deal

Manchester City are on the brink of agreeing a deal with Wolves for left-back Rayan Aït-Nouri, sources have told ESPN.

The Algeria international is set to move to the Etihad Stadium for a fee of €40 million (($45.7m).

Aït-Nouri has been allowed to leave international duty with Algeria — who play Rwanda on Thursday — to undergo a medical and formally complete his transfer.

The 23-year-old, who has made 157 appearances for Wolves after initially joining on loan from Angers in 2020, will follow midfielder Tijjani Reijnders as City’s second summer signing.

They remain interested in Lyon forward Rayan Cherki, Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White and Juventus full-back Andrea Cambiaso.

Jack Grealish has been told he will not be selected as he searches for a move away from City this summer. Kyle Walker will also not be included despite ending his loan spell at AC Milan.
