Manchester City, Lille and Ayyoub Bouaddi
Monday
Ayyoub Bouaddi has reportedly reached a full verbal agreement with Manchester City covering his salary, contract length and personal terms. Lille have acknowledged receiving official offers but insist none meets their valuation for the Morocco international midfielder.
Club negotiations remain unresolved, with Lille president Olivier Letang saying only a small number of teams can afford Bouaddi and indicating a price above €100m. City remain closest to a deal but have not secured Lille’s approval.
