Man City Reach Agreement to Sign Bouaddi in £86m Midfield Deal

Manchester City have reportedly reached an agreement to sign highly rated midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille in a deal worth up to £86 million.

The 18-year-old Morocco international is expected to complete the move after both clubs agreed on the transfer terms. The deal includes an initial fee of around £81.4 million, with additional performance-related bonuses that could increase the total value.

City have prioritised strengthening their midfield following the departures of key players during the summer transfer window. The club is rebuilding its squad ahead of the new season and sees Bouaddi as a long-term investment capable of adding quality and depth to the team.

The young midfielder has attracted attention with his impressive performances and is regarded as one of the most promising talents in European football. His arrival is expected to boost City’s options in the centre of the park as the club prepares for a busy campaign.

Manchester City have already added new faces to their squad this summer and remain active in the transfer market as they continue efforts to reinforce key areas.

Bouaddi’s proposed move represents another major statement of intent from the Premier League giants as they look to compete for domestic and European honours in the upcoming season.
