Ayyoub Bouaddi, the 18-year-old Moroccan midfielder playing for Lille OSC, has been the subject of transfer rumors linking him to Manchester City with a potential €100 million bid this summer. However, as of July 15, 2026, no official offer has been made or confirmed by either club.
Bouaddi, who has represented Morocco at the international level, is considered a promising talent in Ligue 1. The rumored fee would make him one of the most expensive teenagers in football history, but such figures remain speculative without verified sources.
Lille has not commented on the reports, and Manchester City's transfer activities for the summer window have not included Bouaddi in any official statements. Fans and analysts are advised to treat these rumors with caution until concrete evidence emerges.
