International Duty Takes Priority
Ait-Nouri is currently representing Algeria in international friendlies against Rwanda and Sweden. Ahead of the fixture with Rwanda, he addressed the growing transfer speculation.
“Right now, my focus is completely on the national team. The upcoming matches are important, and that’s where my attention is. As for the future, we’ll see how things develop. At the moment, I honestly have no idea. What matters most right now are these two games with Algeria,” Ait-Nouri said when asked about a potential transfer.
