Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly preparing to open new contract talks with Rayan Ait-Nouri as the club seeks to secure the long-term future of the talented wing-back.
Ait-Nouri, 22, has just over a year remaining on his current deal, and with interest from several high-profile clubs, Wolves are eager to ward off potential suitors by offering the French-born Algerian international improved terms.
The versatile defender has been with Wolves since 2020, initially joining on loan from Angers before making the move permanent a year later.
According to the Express & Star, Wolves are keen to keep hold of Ait-Nouri despite the looming threat of a big-money move elsewhere.
The club reportedly plans to table a fresh contract offer in the coming weeks, hoping to convince the player to commit his future to Molineux.
An interesting aspect of Ait-Nouri’s current agreement is the 50 percent sell-on clause held by his former club, Angers.
This means that should Wolves sell him, the French side would be entitled to half of any transfer fee.
However, Wolves have the option to buy out this clause for a reported £9.5 million, a move that could significantly impact any potential negotiations.
Additionally, Wolves hold a 12-month extension option on Ait-Nouri’s current deal, providing them with a degree of leverage as talks progress.
