Man City Set To Seal £86m Deal For Morocco World Cup Sensation Bouaddi

Ayyoub Bouaddi, an 18-year-old Moroccan international, will be transferred by Manchester City to Lille in a deal that could reach £85.6 million.

The midfield player will cost the Premier League team an initial £81.4 million, with an additional £4.2 million possibly due in add-ons.

Following an agreement between City and Lille, Bouaddi is anticipated to finalize his transfer to England. The teenager is seen as a crucial addition to bolster the team’s midfield.

After Tijjani Reijnders left for Saudi Arabian club Al-Qadsiah for £52 million and Rodri left for Barcelona for £65 million, City is rebuilding its position.

The team is still interested in Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, but they have already spent £116 million on England international Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest this summer.

Ahead of the upcoming Premier League season, manager Enzo Maresca’s midfield options would be further strengthened by Bouaddi’s proposed arrival.

With this high-profile signing, Manchester City continues to strengthen their squad by bringing in top talent from the international stage. Bouaddi’s impressive performance in the World Cup has undoubtedly caught the attention of the Premier League giants, and fans are eagerly anticipating his debut in the City shirt. This deal not only highlights City’s ambition to compete at the highest level but also sets the stage for an exciting season ahead.
