Liverpool are in the race to sign Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri ahead of a potential squad overhaul in 2025. The 23-year-old has been on Liverpool head coach Arne Slot's radar for some time now, and Football Insider (according to Caught Offside) has reported that the Reds could bag their man for a cut-price deal.
The left-back position at Liverpool, which has been held by Andrew Robertson for a long time, seems to be up for contention at the moment. Slot has preferred Kostas Tsimikas over Robertson in crucial fixtures against Crystal Palace, RB Leipzig, and Brighton and Hove Albion this season.
While Liverpool have also been linked to Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez, it appears as if Ait-Nouri is the forerunner. If Wolves get relegated at the end of the season, it is highly unlikely that the Algerian international will play in the Championship. While Robertson is a key member of the side, Slot has looked to rest him frequently.

The Scottish defender, who will turn 31 years old next March, has been one of the finest servants of the club since he joined from Hull City in 2017. However, if Liverpool decide to sign Ait-Nouri next season, Robertson's future will be up in arms. It will be interesting to see what the dynamics become at Anfield.
Liverpool are at the top of the EPL table at the moment
Liverpool are ranked right at the top of the English Premier League standings at the moment with 25 points to their name. Their 2-1 come-from-behind win over Brighton and Hove Albion at home on Saturday, November 2, showcased why they are among the forerunners to pick up the title this season.
Their closest contenders Manchester City, who were on top of the standings ahead of this gameweek, have dropped to the second position owing to a 1-2 loss at Bournemouth. Pep Guardiola's men are expected to fight Liverpool tooth-and-nail till the end of the campaign for the title, and Slot knows this well enough.
