According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City have agreed personal terms with 18‑year‑old Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi! Bouaddi favours joining Manchester City this summer.
Fabrizio Romano reports that Bouaddi and his camp have reached an agreement on personal terms with Manchester City, and Bouaddi has given his consent to the transfer. Manchester City have prepared the contract after meeting with the player’s agents and family.
Romano states that Manchester City will now finalise the deal with Lille. Negotiations are progressing smoothly, as Bouaddi prefers to join Manchester City this summer instead of waiting until the summer of 2027 as originally planned.
Ayyoub Bouaddi is 18 years old and will turn 19 this October. Bouaddi made five appearances for Morocco at this year’s World Cup. He registered no goals or assists but delivered outstanding performances. His market value has surged from €50 million before the World Cup to the current €80 million.
