Manchester City and Lille are finalizing the remaining details of an agreement for Ayyoub Bouaddi, according to Get French Football News.The proposed transfer is valued at approximately €100 million. Negotiations have reached an advanced stage, with the clubs now working to settle the final structure of one of the largest deals of the summer.A complete agreement has not been announced, so Bouaddi’s move remains part of the latest transfer news rather than a confirmed signing. No medical or official presentation has been reported.Bouaddi is only 18, but he has already established himself as a regular at Lille. The midfielder made his senior debut in October 2023 and became one of the youngest players to represent the club in both domestic and European competition.He produced one of his first defining performances on his 17th birthday, helping Lille defeat Real Madrid in the Champions League. Bouaddi later signed a new contract running until June 2029, giving Lille the ability to demand a substantial fee.Interest from England had been developing long before City moved into advanced negotiations. SoccerNews previously reported that Arsenal and Liverpool were targeting Bouaddi, with several other leading European clubs monitoring his progress.His value rose further during the 2026 World Cup. Bouaddi became an important member of Morocco’s midfield and helped the Atlas Lions reach the quarterfinals, producing an especially impressive performance against Brazil.Lille president Olivier Letang later indicated that the club valued Bouaddi above several established Premier League midfielders. SoccerNews covered Letang’s public position after the midfielder’s World Cup performances.Bouaddi is comfortable receiving possession under pressure and moving the ball through crowded central areas. His height and defensive awareness also allow him to recover possession without being limited to a purely creative role.Manchester City has already invested heavily in its midfield by completing a British-record agreement for Elliot Anderson. Adding Bouaddi would give the club two young midfielders capable of becoming central figures during the coming seasons.A transfer worth €100 million would comfortably become Lille’s largest sale. It would also place Bouaddi among the most expensive teenagers in football history, despite his limited experience at senior international level.Status: Manchester City and Lille are finalizing the remaining details of a transfer valued at approximately €100 million.
