NGManchester City has reached a preliminary agreement with Lille to sign 18-year-old Moroccan midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi for an initial fee of £81.4 million, with potential add-ons bringing the total to £85.6 million. The deal comes as part of City's efforts to bolster their midfield following the departures of Rodri (to Barcelona) and Tijjani Reijnders (to Al-Qadsiah). While City remain interested in Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez, they have already signed England international Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for £116 million. Bouaddi's move would enhance City's midfield depth ahead of their upcoming Premier League season.
