He will instead travel to Paris on Friday, then immediately head to Manchester to finalise the final steps of the deal. The transfer fee is expected to be around €50m, including bonuses – with a base fee between €30m and €40m.Aït-Nouri began his professional career at Angers SCO, who are set to receive a significant windfall thanks to a 50% sell-on clause – capped at €11.5m – from his 2020 move to Wolves. Originally signed on loan, he joined the Premier League side permanently for €11.5m, and has since developed into one of the division’s most exciting full-backs.GFFN | George Boxall
