Manchester City also enter the race for Ayyoub Bouaddi
Ayyoub Bouaddi continues to be a hot commodity on the transfer market. The young Lille OSC midfielder is now on Manchester City's radar, according to several sources close to the negotiations.
Already tracked by Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Real Madrid, the 20-year-old Moroccan international is living up to his billing as one of European football's brightest prospects. His performances in Ligue 1 have convinced several giants to make a move. Manchester City have reportedly shown their interest recently and initiated preliminary contacts to assess the feasibility of a transfer.
The English club now joins an already fierce competition. However, Lille still hold the upper hand. With a contract running until 2029, Bouaddi is valued at around €70 million by the French club, which has no intention of letting him go on the cheap. This saga is shaping up to be one of the defining stories of the upcoming summer transfer window.
