Wolverhampton Wanderers have told Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City to pay £45 million for left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri, according to The Sun.

The Sun have reported that both Chelsea and Manchester City are keen on signing Ait-Nouri from Wolves in the summer transfer window.

The Wanderers are ready to sell the French youngster this summer, but they want a hefty fee.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has made an enquiry about the youngster, while City boss Pep Guardiola likes him as well.

Could Rayan Ait-Nouri leave Wolves for Chelsea?

In our view, Rayan Ait-Nouri could move to Chelsea if the Blues pay Wolverhampton Wanderers what they want.

Now, £45 million does sound like a lot, but we should not forget that Ait-Nouri is still only 21.

The France Under-21 international left-back, who earns £33,000 per week (SalarySport), would be a long-term investment.

Chelsea do need a left-back, especially a young one, and Ait-Nouri does fit the bill.

The 21-year-old made 20 starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for Wolves last season.

Ait-Nouri scored one goal and gave two assists in those games.

We think that Ait-Nouri would be a good signing for Chelsea or Manchester City even for £45 million.
