Mahrez, now with Al-Ahli, is Ait-Nouri's captain in the Algerian national team. Ait-Nouri values the advice and guidance he receives from Mahrez, who has also played for Manchester City in the past.

"I spoke with Riyad, and he gave me valuable insights about the city," said Ait-Nouri. "He encouraged me to give my all for the club, which is one of the biggest in the world, and I plan to follow his example."

Ait-Nouri believes his experience playing for the Algerian national team will also help him adjust to the demands of Manchester City.

"The national team has been a great help to me," he stated. "Playing for Algeria has been a different challenge, but I'm proud to represent the team. The players and staff have been pushing me to improve, and I'm grateful for the support of the Algerian fans, who send me messages on social media."
