💰 City drop 100m on a teenager

Ayyoub Bouaddi left out of Lille's squad. Deal agreed with Manchester City. 18 years old. 100 million euros. Five-year contract -1-2.

Morocco kid looked composed at the World Cup. But 100m for a midfielder with 30 senior games? That's Rodri money for a player who's still growing into his frame. City selling Rodri and Reijnders then panic-buying. Bold -8-11.

Watch the medical. If he passes, City's midfield is his. Maresca needs legs. The price is inflated but the side is clear: Bouaddi to start within six weeks. Take the over on his appearances market if it's priced below 25 -1-11.
