Rayan Aït-Nouri is open to LEAVING Manchester City and is one to watch in the winter transfer window
A young Manchester City full-back is reportedly considering a move away from the Etihad Stadium as the winter transfer window approaches.
Details: According to CentreGoals, Rayan Aït-Nouri is open to leaving Manchester City and is being closely watched by clubs in the January transfer window.
Rayan Aït-Nouri, a left-back who joined Manchester City from Wolves in 2025, has struggled to establish himself in the first team this season. He has yet to make a Premier League appearance this term, despite providing an assist for Erling Haaland off the bench in his first appearance of the season.
Enzo Maresca has stated that Aït-Nouri is a clear full-back but faces competition from Josko Gvardiol and Nico O’Reilly for playing time. Despite this, Manchester City are reportedly working on a January solution for Aït-Nouri’s future, with the club believed to want around £30m for the 22-year-old.
Manchester United have shown interest in Aït-Nouri before, enquiring about the player on deadline day last season. The Red Devils are now reportedly back in the race, with the player himself open to a potential move to Old Trafford.
It's worth noting that Aït-Nouri registered five assists in 31 appearances for Manchester City last season following his arrival from Wolves, showing his potential as a creative full-back.
