Crystal Palace linked with fresh move for Wolverhampton left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri

Wolverhampton’s talented left-sided player, Rayan Ait-Nouri, might be heading to Crystal Palace this summer. While Wolves are not actively seeking to sell the Algerian international, they are willing to entertain offers if the price is right.

According to The Sun, Wolves have placed a valuation of around €36 million on the 22-year-old, a sum that Crystal Palace could be ready to meet. Ait-Nouri has been a key figure at Wolves, appearing in 118 matches and contributing with 7 goals and 9 assists. His performances have established him as a reliable and versatile player, making him an attractive prospect for clubs looking to bolster their defensive options.

Ait-Nouri, born in France, holds both French and Algerian citizenship. He began his international career with France, representing the country at various youth levels, including the under-18 and under-21 teams. However, in January 2023, Ait-Nouri made a significant decision to switch his international allegiance to Algeria. Since making this switch, he has earned 13 caps for the Algerian national team, further highlighting his growing reputation on the international stage.

Currently, Ait-Nouri’s market value is estimated at €35 million, according to Transfermarkt.com. His value reflects his consistent performances in the Premier League and his potential for further growth, making him a valuable asset for any club looking to strengthen its squad.

Crystal Palace are eager to add Ait-Nouri to their ranks, seeing him as a crucial addition to their squad. The club believes that under the management of head coach Oliver Glasner, Ait-Nouri could thrive and become an integral part of their system. However, the €36 million asking price could be a point of negotiation. Palace might try to lower the financial outlay by including their goalkeeper, Sam Johnstone, in the deal. Wolves have shown interest in Johnstone, and a swap deal involving cash and the player could be beneficial for both sides.
