Liverpool are currently leading the race to sign 23-year-old Premier League defender Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Reds are competing with Chelsea and Manchester City but appear to have an advantage.
New manager Arne Slot is expected to receive strong backing in the transfer market this summer, with a focus on strengthening the defense.
Liverpool’s current left-backs, Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas, struggled last season due to fitness issues and inconsistent form.
Therefore, Liverpool is seeking a new left-back who can contribute both offensively and defensively.
Journalist Abdel Hamad reported that Liverpool are ahead in the pursuit of Ait-Nouri.
Hamad stated on X (formerly Twitter): “Rayan Ait Nouri will leave Wolves.
The left side is notably tracked by Chelsea, City, and Liverpool. For the moment Liverpool are in pole position on the file.”
Ait-Nouri, who can play as both a left-back and a left-winger, has excelled under Gary O’Neil at Wolves, showing his pace and ability to create chances.
Adding Ait-Nouri would strengthen Liverpool’s left side, enhancing their defense and attack.
As Liverpool transitions from managerial changes to player acquisitions, securing Ait-Nouri could be a crucial move for the upcoming season.
