Hwang Hee-chan's teammate is going to Manchester City.
The Sun reported on the 10th that "Rayan Ait-Nouri, who had an impressive performance at Wolverhampton last season, is transferring to Manchester City for £31 million (about 57 billion won). Ait-Nouri has signed a contract with Manchester City until 2030."
Ait-Nouri, a left-back, played a key role for Wolverhampton last season. It is reported that the contract includes a condition that the transfer fee could increase to a maximum of £36.3 million (about 66.8 billion won).
Ait-Nouri joined Wolverhampton on loan in 2020 and made a permanent transfer in 2021 after an impressive performance. He played 157 matches for Wolverhampton, scoring 12 goals and providing 19 assists. He is a key player, having started in 37 out of 38 Premier League matches for Wolverhampton last season.
Ait-Nouri, who announced his contract just three days before his 24th birthday, said, "I am really happy right now. It is an honor to join Manchester City. I have the chance to fulfill my dreams at the best club in the world. I am excited to learn from the best in the world, Pep Guardiola, and to play with world-class teammates."
Wolverhampton's ace, Matheus Cunha, who contributed with 15 goals and 6 assists last season, has transferred to Manchester United. Both of the team's top players have moved to big clubs.
Hwang Hee-chan struggled last season with only 2 goals. His scoring has dropped from 12 goals to 2, reducing his standing within the team.
