Rayan Ait-Nouri bid farewell to Wolves after parting ways with the club he had been with for five years.
His move to Manchester City for £31m marked the end of his time at Molineux, with some fans expressing frustration at the sale price. However, the decision was influenced by the fact that Ait-Nouri was entering the final year of his contract.
Following in the footsteps of Matheus Cunha, the departure of the Algerian defender signals the conclusion of major sales for Wolves this summer.
Teammates at Wolves, including Joao Gomes, sent warm wishes to Ait-Nouri upon his exit, with Gomes describing the left-back as the best in the world in an Instagram post.
Although further departures are anticipated, fans are hopeful that Gomes will not be the next to leave after his standout performances in the previous season.
While Ait-Nouri’s emotional goodbye message left a void at Wolves, the potential departures of Goncalo Guedes and Nelson Semedo loom on the horizon. Fans are hopeful that Gomes, named Supporters’ Player of the Season, will remain with the club.
Replacing Cunha and Ait-Nouri’s attacking threat may be achievable, but the loss of Gomes would be a significant blow to Wolves. Though unlikely this summer, uncertainty remains about the future amidst ongoing transfer speculation.
