<p>Pep Guardiola <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/why-man-city-avoid-transfer-ban-ffp-case-premier-league-champions-backed-keep-spending/blt9b8be313c320e3a7" target="_blank">spent big in January as City saw the Premier League title start to slip from their grasp</a>. The Cityzens, after a record-breaking run of four successive top-flight triumphs, ultimately surrendered that crown to Liverpool, but are now splashing the cash again. Wolves defender Ait-Nouri has become the club's latest addition and has signed a five-year contract at the Etihad Stadium.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Rayan Ait-Nouri has completed his move to City! 🩵 <a href="https://t.co/Gliqsdl7fX">pic.twitter.com/Gliqsdl7fX</a></p>— Manchester City (@ManCity) <a href="https://twitter.com/ManCity/status/1932121195819712787?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 9, 2025</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told the club's official website: "I am incredibly happy and honoured to have joined Manchester City. City are one of the biggest clubs in the world and the chance to play for the club is a dream come true. I am also excited about working with and learning from Pep and his coaching team and getting to train and play alongside such a world class group of players. Joining City is also a very proud moment for my family too. Now I can’t wait to get started and to play in front of our supporters.”</p><p></p>

WHAT AIT-NOURI SAID

<p>Ait-Nouri will <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-city-2025-summer-transfer-window-priorities/blta0b4030f02deea84" target="_blank">bring useful Premier League experience with him to Manchester</a>, having spent the last five seasons with Wolves - taking in 157 appearances and scoring 12 goals for the men from Molineux.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>He will now be charged with the task of becoming a buccaneering presence for City on their left flank. Ait-Nouri is capable of operating as a full-back or wing-back, giving Guardiola more selection options.</p>
