Manchester City Agree Personal Terms with Lille Midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi
Manchester City are pushing to sign 18-year-old Moroccan midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille as a potential long-term successor to Rodri, whose future at the club is uncertain. According to transfer reporter Nicolò Schira, City have provisionally agreed personal terms with Bouaddi on a contract running until 2031. City are still negotiating with Lille and face competition from two other major European clubs. The FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders view Bouaddi as a deep-lying playmaker with combative qualities suited to the Premier League, though they acknowledge he needs improvement in the final third. City have already signed Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest this summer as their first major midfield addition. The article, originally published on Esteemed Kompany and syndicated by Yardbarker, suggests City are eager to finalize the deal quickly.
