Manchester City have entered into negotiations over the possibility of signing a rival Premier League star, as they look to add even more quality to their squad.
While Pep Guardiola and his team are in the midst of a Premier League title battle, the Manchester City hierarchy have started work behind the scenes ahead of the summer transfer window.
And one report suggests that they’re on the verge of coming to an agreement, with two separate offers available to their rivals.
According to Football Transfers, Manchester City have “held talks” with Wolves about the possibility of signing Rayan Ait-Nouri in the summer, with the Premier League side placing a £60m valuation on their star full-back.
The report suggests that Manchester City will look to get the Algerian for cheaper, though, instead offering Sergio Gomez in a player-plus-cash swap deal. Gomez has struggled for gametime since joining City at the beginning of last season, playing just 36 minutes in the Premier League in 2023/24.
Ait-Nouri, meanwhile, has been flying for Wolves this season, impressing with his performances at left-back under Gary O’Neil. And though Pep Guardiola has used both Josko Gvardiol and Nathan Ake in that position to great effect this term, he could finally be ready to bring in a specialist left-back.
At 22, Ait-Nouri still has plenty of room for growth, too, making him an attractive prospect for Manchester City.
