Aït-Nouri linked with Barcelona in lone Fichajes report
The situation
The story today is a single Spanish report linking Rayan Aït-Nouri with a move from Manchester City to FC Barcelona. Fichajes.net says Barcelona have identified the 25-year-old left-back as a possible January signing, noting he has made just three appearances this season, and that City value him at around €30m. Any pursuit, the report adds, hinges on Alejandro Balde leaving the Camp Nou. Manchester United are also credited with an interest.
The reporting
The sourcing here is slight. Fichajes.net's report was carried by Transfer News Live by 5 November, so this is one claim travelling between outlets rather than several independent reports. No trusted reporter has backed it, and the outlets carrying it are tabloids or aggregators. Nobody has matched it with fresh detail.
The outlook
As things stand, this is a faint chance. Aït-Nouri signed for City on 9 June 2025 for €36.8m and has 42 months left on his deal when the January window opens on 1 January 2027, so City are under no pressure to sell. For Barcelona to act, Balde would first have to leave, and even then the clubs have held no public talks.
