Manchester City Negotiates Transfer for Ayyoub Bouaddi

Manchester City is currently engaged in advanced negotiations with Lille for the transfer of Moroccan midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi. The Premier League club aims to finalize the deal this week following the agreement to sell Rodri to Barcelona.

Bouaddi, who has gained recognition for his performances, particularly at the World Cup where he started five matches, is valued at 100 million euros. He has made 88 appearances for Lille since his debut in October 2023, contributing to the team's third-place finish in Ligue 1 last season.

Rodri is expected to complete a £65 million transfer to Barcelona soon, which may influence City's strategy regarding Bouaddi and their interest in Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez.
