Manchester City have reportedly taken the lead in the pursuit of Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi as the new season approaches.
The 18-year-old is anticipated to depart from the French club this summer, having piqued the interest of several top European teams, with City currently positioned as the frontrunner for his signature.
Bouaddi has notably enhanced his profile through a series of standout performances for Morocco during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, playing a key role in the Atlas Lions’ group-stage effort.
