Manchester City Set to Sign Ayoub Bouaddi on Long-Term Deal

In a significant development, English football giants Manchester City have reached an agreement with Moroccan rising star Ayoub Bouaddi on a contract that will run until 2031. According to renowned Italian transfer market expert Nicolo Schira, who broke the news, the player and the club have finalized the terms of the deal. The club's hierarchy is now engaged in intense negotiations with French club Lille to complete the signing of the talented player. Manchester City is keen to wrap up the deal quickly to stay ahead of other top European clubs that are also vying for Bouaddi's signature. The club views the young Moroccan as a vital part of their future plans, and his impressive performances for Lille and the Moroccan national team have caught their attention. Notably, his outstanding display against Brazil in the 2026 World Cup was a testament to his skills. As European clubs increasingly seek out young Moroccan talent, Bouaddi has become a highly sought-after player. If Manchester City can reach a final agreement with Lille, it will mark a major milestone in Bouaddi's career, as he will join one of Europe's biggest clubs, potentially opening up new opportunities for him. Meanwhile, reports from a Senegalese website suggest that the Lions of Teranga star is being considered as a potential successor to Hakimi.
