Manchester City Shows Interest in Lille’s Ayyoub Bouaddi Valued at €100 Million
According to a report from The Athletic, Lille values Ayyoub Bouaddi (18) in the region of €100 million amid interest from Manchester City this summer. The Moroccan international is attracting considerable attention ahead of a potential move away from Ligue 1, with the Manchester club currently leading the race.
City aims to sign the French-born midfielder this summer. Initially, the Premier League club considered sending him back to Lille on loan for a season to gain more experience. However, they later decided that it would be more beneficial for him to develop at the Etihad Stadium if a transfer goes through.
