Manchester City are pushing hard to wrap up a marquee transfer for one of European football’s top young midfield prospects.
According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, negotiations between Manchester City and Lille are accelerating rapidly, with optimism growing inside the Etihad Stadium that a deal can be completed in the coming days.
Talks between the Premier League champion and the French club have stepped up after initial contacts. With rival top-tier European clubs tracking the 18-year-old Moroccan international, City’s recruitment team has moved proactively to secure his signature ahead of the competition.
As reported by Romano, confidence is high across the board that agreement on the transfer formula will be finalized shortly
While the transfer itself is nearing completion, the timing of Bouaddi’s arrival in Manchester remains an important strategic detail as City are open to bringing Bouaddi straight into the first-team setup for the upcoming campaign.
