Rayan Ait-Nouri | Ornstein: City pursuing deal

[Mark Pawelek]

More than one report says he's visited United and City facilities in Manchester and will pick between the two clubs. Attacking left-footed fullback. Just what Rashford ordered? Serveral sources including MEN, L’Équipe, Foot Mercato. Fee: ~ €30m seems a little high for 19 year old player.

No sources?

No sources?

Many sources. UK Express (Jamie Anderson), Sportskeeda (Soumalya Moitra), HITC, ESPN, ...

Pick a reliable source and put it in the OP.

 

[jesperjaap]

Had never heard of him but (yes youtube) looks very talented going forward especially. Nuno Mendes watched the other day and he looks fantastic. I just cant believe we are signing a left back this summer whether its £20m or £40m no matter how good they are

 

[Sayros]

Yeah, I doubt United is getting a LB as well, looks like a City signing.

 

[Adnan]

The source is Foot Mercato who aren't known for their reliability and it seems everyone is just piggy backing off that one source.

The L'Equipe link in the OP is from last year.

 

[sp_107]

Any news about this signing? Looks like a great talent.

We can have good competition just by spending 15M on this transfer.

Let me guess, they will get him cheaper than Dorgu.

Well done from 5 years ago.

Liverpool get Kerkez and City get Ait-Nouri. I don’t think there’s a need for a run-on sentence.

We will give you Myko if you want x

 

[Foolsgold21]

To think back in 2020 we signed that absolute dud Alex Telles instead....

 

[bond19821982]

Wolves and Bournemouth were not going to sell in Jan. In the hindsight we should have waited but we didn't know that it wouldn't make any difference.

Only positive is that - its a left back. We will have plenty of options should we decide to upgrade Dorgu.

 

[Crimson King]

Let me guess, they will get him cheaper than Dorgu.

Seems very unlikely. Last time they were looking for £50m. Unless he has a release clause, I can't see them reducing that, especially as they've already sold Cunha.

 

[FootballHQ]

Amazed he's only 23 still, been at Wolves for last five years?

He's a funny one, good going forward when he feels like it but was chucking in some disgraceful defensive performances for Wolves up to December. Him v Madueke when Chelsea won 6-3 in August was one of the worst full back performances in the prem all season.

Man. City wanted Cucerella a few years back so guessing this is their idea to give them a bit more energy at the back and then Gvardiol plays mostly as CB next season.

 

[saivet]

Let me guess, they will get him cheaper than Dorgu.

Surely not - unless he has 12 months left on his contract?

 

[Stobzilla]

Pep is going to love this lazy bastard.

 

[Devil_forever]

He started from the bottom and now look where is he is. He's perfect for City but would be exposed for any team that needs to do any serious defending.

He's been previously linked with them in the past few summers, this move doesn't surprise me.

Next it will be Rayman

Not sure if it's a serious question but it's rather a name often used by Moroccans, Algerians and it's pronounced differently.

 

[Bright_Eyes]

I don't think Ryan is a common name in Algerian families

 

[The holy trinity 68]

I guess they know they are getting off very lightly on all the charges with all the money they are still throwing around.

[Wolfie74]

Gutted to read this today, he had told the club he was happy to stay but I guess with Coty calling he will be off, luckily we have a good LWB out on loan.

He’s superb going forward and has improved considerably defensively, I have no idea what the Villa fan above was going on about v Chelsea, we were shocking that day but Ait Nouri was the least of our worries

 

[VP89]

It's OK lads we have Dorgu

 

[hellhunter]

Certainly will sting if they get him for a fee in the same ballpark

 

[DWelbz19]

Ait Nouri and Cherki. Can’t wait for them both to become mindless drones in the Pep machine

 

[Fortitude]

If I speak, I am in big trouble. I prefer not to speak.

 

[Wolfie74]

Fee will be around £40m, we have a year extension I our favour which we can activate anytime, I imagine we will do it before he leaves to increase the fee

 

[aeh1991]

Good transfer for them. Gutted to see him, Kerkez, Frimpong all join our rivals

 

[Ish]

What’s happening with 115 charges and them signing all these players?

 

[AkaAkuma]

Kerkez, Frimpong, Ait Nouri all likely chose not to join United rather than us being incompetent.

 

[Drizzle]

Kerkez, Frimpong, Ait Nouri all likely chose not to join United rather than us being incompetent.

The bitter irony being at least 2 of those 3 are better suited to our wingback system.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Superb signing for them, good thing we've brought in Dorgu to create chances.
