Manchester City have reached an agreement worth up to £36.3 million for Wolves left-back Rayan Ait Nouri, according to Sky Sports News.
The 23-year-old is now free to discuss personal terms and undergo a medical.
Man City are hopeful of completing Ait Nouri’s medical and finalising the deal before Tuesday’s 7pm deadline, which would allow him to feature in the Club World Cup.
The deal consists of an initial £31 million fee, potentially rising to £36.3million.
The Algeria international joined Wolves from French side Angers in 2020 and has made 157 appearances, scoring 12 goals and providing 19 assists.
Angers are set to receive approximately £9.7million from the transfer after negotiating a 50 percent sell-on clause.
Ahead of his move, Ait Nouri praised Pep Guardiola, calling him a great coach while on international duty with Algeria.
He said: “No, for now I am concentrating on Algeria national team, the important thing is the two next matches, we will see how it goes, honestly, I do not know at all, we will see, the most important thing is the two matches which we played with the national team, I am concentrating on that, we will see.”
Asked about Guardiola, he added: “Yes, everyone knows that he is a great coach, after that, I said the most important thing is to concentrate on the national team.”
