Manchester City set sights on Morocco midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi in €100m deal

Manchester City are pursuing the signing of Lille and Morocco midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi for a reported €100 million (£85m).

• Manchester City intends to sign Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi for €100 million (£85m), according to reports.
• Lille has reportedly set a €100 million asking price for the 18-year-old, who impressed for Morocco at the World Cup.
• City plans to integrate Bouaddi directly into the first-team squad under manager Enzo Maresca, rather than loan him out.
• Signing Bouaddi would bring Manchester City's summer spending to £200m after the £116m signing of Elliott Anderson from Nottingham Forest.
