Ayyoub Bouaddi could be on the verge of another major step in his rapidly developing career.
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, negotiations between Manchester City and Lille are approaching the final stages, with an agreement between the two clubs now increasingly close.
Personal Terms Already Agreed
The Moroccan midfielder has reportedly already reached an agreement with Manchester City over personal terms, leaving the final agreement between the two clubs as the key remaining step.
With negotiations progressing, Bouaddi is now closer than ever to making the move to England and joining one of Europe's biggest clubs.
Bouaddi Wants the Move This Summer
One of the most significant developments is the player's reported desire to move to Manchester City this summer rather than wait until 2027.
Earlier reports suggested that City could complete the transfer now before allowing Bouaddi to remain at Lille on loan for another season.
However, the latest developments indicate that the Moroccan talent would prefer to begin his English adventure immediately.
Another Major Chapter for Morocco's Rising Star
Bouaddi's rise has been remarkable.
The young midfielder has already established himself as one of Morocco's brightest emerging talents, earning international recognition and playing a key role in the Atlas Lions' latest generation.
A move to Manchester City would represent another extraordinary milestone, placing him alongside some of the world's finest players and under one of Europe's most respected coaching structures.
The Final Steps
For now, attention remains on the negotiations between Lille and Manchester City.
With the two clubs reportedly nearing an agreement, the coming hours and days could prove decisive for Bouaddi's future.
The dream of Manchester City is getting closer—and Ayyoub Bouaddi now appears to be just one final agreement away from beginning a spectacular new chapter in England.
