Manchester City are reported to be actively pursuing Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi ahead of the summer transfer window, following his standout performances for Morocco at the World Cup. Multiple outlets say City are “pushing hard” to sign the 18-year-old, with the expectation that a decision on his next club could be made soon. Yahoo Sports reports that City lead a €100 million chase for Bouaddi, placing them ahead of other Premier League clubs including Liverpool and Arsenal. The Manchester Evening News also reports that City have been given a new price tag for the player, reflecting Lille’s position in negotiations. Across the reports, Bouaddi’s rise is linked to his World Cup impact, which has increased interest from top clubs. While there is agreement that City want to sign him and that Lille are controlling negotiations, the outlets do not indicate whether a deal has been reached or what final transfer fee is being sought. The information suggests discussions are ongoing and that Bouaddi’s future is expected to be clarified in the near term.
