Algerian-French defender Rayan Ait-Nouri, currently at Manchester City, has been linked with a move to Napoli in Serie A.
The 25-year-old left-back joined City from Wolves in June 2025 for €36.8m and remains under contract until 30 June 2030. The reported interest comes during a campaign in which his Premier League involvement has been limited, with no appearances recorded in the competition so far.
Ait-Nouri has made two Champions League appearances this season, providing one assist, and has featured twice in the EFL Cup, registering two assists. He also played for Algeria at the 2026 World Cup, starting three of the four matches in which he appeared.
The proposed move would see Ait-Nouri leave the Premier League for Serie A, although no transfer fee or agreement has been reported. His current market valuation is €35m, placing the defender close to the figure City paid to sign him from Wolves.
Ait-Nouri won the FA Cup with Manchester City in 2026 and also collected a League Cup winners’ medal during his first season at the club. He began his senior career with Angers before moving to Wolves, initially on loan, in 2020.
For now, Ait-Nouri remains a Manchester City player, with his contract running through June 2030.
