Manchester City are close to completing the signing of Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi.
As reported by İdman.Biz, the clubs have reached an agreement over the transfer of the 18-year-old Morocco international.
According to The Athletic, Manchester City will pay the French club an initial €95 million, with the total fee potentially rising to €100 million including bonuses.
Bouaddi made 30 Ligue 1 appearances for Lille last season. He made his senior debut for Morocco in May 2026 and went on to start five of the national team's six matches at the World Cup.
Morocco reached the quarter-finals of the tournament, with the young midfielder establishing himself as an important member of the team.
If the transfer is completed, Bouaddi will become one of the most expensive players in Manchester City's history.
