From Bench Warmer to Etihad Star…

As Pep’s squad gears up for a summer transfer fiesta, Wolves’ Rayan Ait-Nouri is swapping his armchair critique at Molineux for the sky-blue runway at Etihad, all thanks to a modest pocket change of £50 million! Once upon a time, back in a fairytale land called 2023, a young Ait-Nouri wasn’t doing much on Saturdays besides maybe playing footsie with some pigeons in the stands. Fast forward, and he’s about to become Manchester Magic City’s shiny new toy, while former boss Julen Lopetegui might be somewhere scratching his head like a confused meerkat in a windstorm!

The story of Ait-Nouri’s cosmic comeback feels as whimsical as unicorns doing juggling acts — in Wildcats, he faced the fury of Jamie Carragher’s mystic powers, who once mused what voodoo Ait-Nouri was cooking. Yet, destiny had its PlayStation breaks. When Gary O’Neil hit the scene like a funky flamenco dancer, Ait-Nouri popped his magical football boots back on and started conjuring game-winning spells. Sprinkle some sports drama dust, and voila—suddenly, Pep-a-doodle-doo and the City crew are charmed!

This soon-to-be Manchester marvel was once Angers-born, where he probably played football against baby Rockstars and future Presidents. Defending against PSG’s superstars like Mbappe was less a job, more like a bizarre fever dream! Now, he awaits a new chapter under Pep’s wizardly charm; our man Ait-Nouri will probably be playing left-back and levitating balls with a magician’s wand. Bet your bippy, Man City fans are set for a treat with Ait-Nouri in the anchorman lineup!
