Rayan Aït-Nouri has been a regular for Wolverhampton Wanderers this season and maintained his place after Vítor Pereira replaced Gary O’Neil in December.
The Algeria international started as a left-back and moved to the left wing-back role under Pereira. He’s played 39 games and impressed for Wolves this season.
Jorge Mendes has close ties with Wolves and was representing the 23-year-old. Aït-Nouri has now changed agents and chosen ICM Stellar to take care of his interests.
Fennec Football claim this is a strategic choice from the fullback, and they believe it underlines his desire to play for a top European club.
His contract lasts until 2026, with an option for another year, and Wolves have been hoping to secure his renewal. That is unlikely to happen as the report states Aït-Nouri’s decision to seek a new challenge ‘seems irreversible’.
The fullback’s strategic decision to change agents is a blow to the English club’s plan to tie him down to a new contract.
Despite parting ways with Jorge Mendes, the report explains the super-agent could act as an intermediary to find him a new club. Whether this will be backed up elsewhereremains to be seen.
Aït-Nouri’s decision to change agents is seen as a clear indication he wants to leave Molineux.
