Manchester City are finalizing a deal for highly rated Moroccan midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille, with personal terms agreed and a medical imminent ahead of the Premier League kickoff next weekend.
The push
follows the sale of longtime star Rodri to Barcelona for €60 million plus up to
€16 million in add-ons, marking the end of his era that brought four league
titles and a Champions League.
Manager Enzo Maresca emphasized quick integration for new signings like Bouaddi, seen as a long-term investment at around €100 million to refresh the squad.
