Manchester City has reached an agreement with Lille for the transfer of midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi. According to Fabrizio Romano, the clubs have finalized all the main terms of the deal.
The total value of the transfer is expected to reach 100 million euros, including performance-related bonuses. Lille has given its final approval for the sale of the 19-year-old talent.
Personal terms were agreed between the player and the English club back in July. Last season, the Frenchman made 42 appearances for Lille across all competitions, providing one assist.
This move is a significant investment by Manchester City into their future project. Despite having a contract with the French side until the summer of 2029, Bouaddi is now set to join the Premier League.
