Rayan Ait-Nouri considering January exit from Manchester City

Manchester City defender Rayan Ait-Nouri is seriously considering leaving the club in the next transfer window, according to Mundo Deportivo.

The 1-3 defeat by Nottingham Forest in the 10th round of the Premier League is reported to have been the final factor behind the Algeria international’s frustration.

Ait-Nouri was left out of the squad for that match, further increasing his dissatisfaction with his situation at Manchester City. The defender has seen very little playing time and has not made a league appearance this season.

The 24-year-old could leave Manchester City as early as January, although he is also prepared to consider a move next summer.

Manchester United explored the possibility of signing Ait-Nouri on loan towards the end of the previous transfer window. However, Manchester City wanted any agreement to include an option to buy, and the clubs were unable to reach a deal.

Manchester United could revive their interest in the January transfer window.
