AC Milan has had a long-term interest in Rayan Aït-Nouri, an interest also held by Juventus, which has renewed its interest for the winter transfer window. The Turin club's renewed interest is due to the player's limited playing time at Manchester City under Enzo Maresca. Aït-Nouri is a 25-year-old Algerian international left-back. The management of Juventus has contacted the player's representatives with the aim of offering him a project to relaunch his career in Serie A.
Previous discussions during the summer did not result in a transfer because Aït-Nouri wanted to try to secure a regular place at his club. The player has 33 caps for Algeria, is contracted to Manchester City until 2030, and has a current market value of €40.00m according to Transfermarkt. Manchester United has also been associated with an interest in Aït-Nouri. He moved to City from Wolverhampton in June 2025 for a reported fee of €36.8M. According to reports from August 2026, the player was considered too expensive for Juventus. It was also reported in September 2026 that Manchester City wanted a high, mandatory purchase clause in any potential agreement.
