Premier League defender set for Manchester City medical after agreeing £33.7m move as talks continue over France star

Manchester City signs Wolves left back Rayan Aït-Nouri in a deal worth £ 33.7 million.

His former club negotiated a 50 percent sales clause, but it will be bought out by Wolves for £ 9.7 million before the deal is completed.

There are conversations about bonuses, but the Algerian is planned to have a medical on Saturday before joining the city.

The defender has been admired by scouts in City for more than 12 months, because they were looking for reinforcements for their back line.

Ait-Nouri is now supposed to have enough Premier League experience under his belt to make the move after an impressive campaign at Molineux.

The 23-year-old scored five goals in 41 performances last season and brought his total to Wolves on 12 goals in 157 games. He also delivered 19 assists since he moved to Molineux in 2020.

The Algeria International has left for a year to his Wolves contract, although the club also has an option to expand that.

Pep Guardiola's side plan to package the signing of £ 35 million from midfielder Rayan Cherki from Lyon.

The 21-year-old has already agreed personal conditions and wants to become a member of the city before the Club World Cup before the Deadline Deadline.

This season, Cherki scored 12 goals in 44 games, including two against Manchester United in the Europa League.

He made his senior debut for France on Thursday evening and scored Les Bleus on a 5-4 defeat against Spain.

He was also part of the France U23 team that won a silver medal at last summer's Olympic Games.

City will also sign AC Milan -midfielder Tijjani Reijners pending a medical government after a five -year deal after they had agreed an initial compensation of £ 46.3 million with the Italians.

The reimbursement can increase with bonuses to £ 58 million.

Reijnders said: 'The Premier League is of course a great competition, that's what you dream of like a little boy.

'I didn't have contact [Pep] Guardiola. '

Reijnders comes from the back of an impressive campaign for the Serie A -outfit in which he has contributed 15 goals and five assists in 54 performances in all competitions.

Milan may only have finished eighth in the table, but the performances of the Dutchman saw him called the Serie A -Midfielder of the season.
