Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Rayan Ait Nouri on a five year contract, becoming the first attained player of the 2025 summer transfer window.

Manchester City and Rayan Ait Nouri have secured their deal together, as the Algerian's arrival has been told by the club.

The 24 year, now formerly of fellow Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers, joins the Sky Blues at the back of the 24/25 season, where he played 41 matches and scored 12 goals.

There has been a busy transfer window so far for Manchester City, who have been linked to multiple names they have said to be interested in. One of those names was the Algerian, and he becomes the first signing of the summer window.

Elsewhere, they are coming closer to bringing in Tijjani Rejinders and Rayan Cherki to accompany Rayan Ait Nouri.

One of the biggest positives to note is that Ait Nouri will be able to join Manchester City in the FIFA Club World Cup.
