# Wolves: Rayan Ait-Nouri ‘ready to leave’ Molineux

**[Wolves](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) defender Rayan Ait-Nouri is ‘ready to leave’ the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) strugglers after suffering under new manager Julen Lopetegui.**

### The Lowdown: Amazing potential…

The left-back, who made his Molineux debut[two years ago](https://thisisfutbol.com/2020/11/blogs/premier-league/wolverhampton-wanderers-tim-spiers-heaps-praise-on-rayan-ait-nouri/) at just 19-years-old, has amassed quite a reputation with members of the media [praising his potential.](https://thisisfutbol.com/2020/11/blogs/premier-league/wolverhampton-wanderers-tim-spiers-heaps-praise-on-rayan-ait-nouri/)

Ait-Nouri’s performances have motivated big clubs to take note with league giants Chelsea even [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/wolves-chelsea-eyeing-up-move-for-rayan-ait-nouri-transfer-neves-lage/) over the summer transfer window.

The 21-year-old’s future could lie away from Wolves with news from France now sharing coming to light on his next move.

### The Latest: Ait-Nouri ‘ready to leave’ Wolves…

According to [Foot Mercato,](https://www.footmercato.net/a1824592331649483442-nice-veut-relancer-rayan-ait-nouri) Ait-Nouri is ‘ready to leave’ and he could depart Wolves as French sides like Nice take a real interest.

This comes with the player having ‘suffered the most’ since manager Julen Lopetegui’s arrival and this report claims the Spaniard has ‘sidelined’ him.

### The Verdict: Worrying?

The former France Under-21 international is a player who could star for Wolves over many seasons so Fosun International and co need to weigh their next step carefully.

Ruben Neves has hailed Ait-Nouri as a [‘fantastic player’ with ‘a lot of talent’](https://twitter.com/WolvesFC_latest/status/1323006901639094279) and the club captain may be right considering the youngster was also a [2022 target](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10931425/Manchester-City-Chelsea-pay-staggering-45m-Wolves-left-Rayan-Ait-Nouri.html) for Man City.

He will continue to attract suitors and this transfer decision could be one of Wolves’ most difficult.
