Arsenal have their eye on Rayan Ait-Nouri of Wolverhampton Wanderers; AC Milan are expected to present stiff competition for his signature this upcoming summer. Arsenal estimates he could command an offer worth around EUR60 million as they look to improve their defensive options with further reinforcement of Rayan Ait-Nouri at Wolves.
Because Wolves has had such an unsatisfying season, speculation regarding several of its star players could increase significantly; with Ait-Nouri becoming particularly intriguing. Arsenal have taken notice and seen him as potential addition to their squad.
However, AC Milan is also seriously considering Ait-Nouri as a target, especially with uncertainties surrounding the future of their own left-back, Theo Hernandez, who is attracting attention from Real Madrid. Should Hernandez depart, Ait-Nouri emerges as a prime candidate to fill the vacant spot at the Italian club.
Where Will Rayan Ait-Nouri Land?
The question of whether Ait-Nouri remains in the Premier League or moves abroad is yet to be resolved. With Arsenal reportedly looking for a replacement for Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney, who are speculated to be leaving, the club might see Ait-Nouri as a perfect fit. Yet, their need isn’t as pressing, given the emergence of Myles Lewis-Skelly and the presence of Riccardo Calafiori and other versatile defenders capable of playing on the left side of defense.
Though wolves face competition from Premier League giants for Ait-Nouri’s services, AC Milan may gain the upper hand by opting to sell to non-domestic rivals outside England such as AC Milan or Liverpool or Manchester United who may no longer pursue him due to recently signing Patrick Dorgu.
Liverpool continues its search for left-back options, showing that Ait-Nouri is among several players being considered by top clubs throughout Europe as the summer transfer window draws nearer.
