Overview

• Ait-Nouri has agreed personal terms and both clubs expect the £50m deal to be completed imminently, with his Wolves contract running until June 2026.
• The 23-year-old appeared 41 times last season, helping Wolves secure nine clean sheets and contributing five goals and seven assists.
• Former coach Edu Rubio hailed his tight-control dribbling and defensive progress as a natural fit for Guardiola’s possession-driven approach.
• After being sidelined under Julen Lopetegui, Ait-Nouri revived his form under Gary O’Neil and has emerged as one of the Premier League’s top full-backs.
• Despite agreeing the move, he remains committed to Algeria’s World Cup qualifiers ahead of the summer transfer finalisation.
