Last weekend, a claim from France stated that Paris Saint-Germain have shown interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Rayan Aït-Nouri.
OGC Nice were keen on signing the left-back in the last window before Wolves blocked his exit. It has worked out well for the player, who featured regularly this season before suffering an injury against Fulham.
The 22-year-old’s fine form saw him linked to a few clubs, but PSG won’t be an option for him. That’s according to journalist Laurent Perrin, who made this claim to Le Parisien, relayed by Le10 Sport.
According to Perrin, PSG advisor Luis Campos doesn’t have the Algeria international in his target list.
“PSG are not interested in Aït-Nouri. They follow fullbacks in case an opportunity arises, but the former Angers player, now an Algerian international, is not on the list,” he said.
“There are no pending cases for the left-back position. We’ll have to see if there are any opportunities, but the managers think they can get by with [Lucas] Hernández and [Nordi] Mukiele while waiting for [Nuno] Mendes to return.”
Perrin dismissing claims of PSG’s interest in the defender should please Wolves and their supporters. Last month, Le10 Sport reported the Premier League side have no intention to sell the player and will block his exit in the next window.
Aït-Nouri is expected to be out of action for the next four weeks, meaning he’ll be fit in time to represent his country at the AFCON in January.
