Rayan Ait Nouri’s transfer to the club is in danger of falling through because of… Lopetegui!

The transfer of Rayan Ait Nouri to West Ham could face significant hurdles, primarily due to the presence of Lopetegui.

English media outlets have recently discussed the possibility of the Algerian player joining the Hammers. However, this deal might be compromised by the involvement of the current coach, Lopetegui, who had previously sidelined Ait Nouri and even placed him on the transfer list.

While there are still uncertainties regarding Ait Nouri’s potential move to West Ham under Lopetegui’s management, recent statements from former Everton manager Keith Wyness suggest that the scenario is not unlikely. Wyness hinted on a podcast that Lopetegui, rumored to take over West Ham next season, might seek to reunite with his former stars at Wolverhampton.

This situation casts doubt on West Ham’s ability to acquire high-profile players like Ait Nouri, Pedro Neto, and Matheus Cunha, all of whom are coveted by the Hammers. While Wolves’ management is open to considering offers for these players, Lopetegui’s presence could complicate Ait Nouri’s transfer to West Ham.
