Ayyoub Bouaddi, a young talent from Lille, is on the verge of a major turning point in his young career.
A final agreement between LOSC and Manchester City is reportedly close to being reached, after the 18-year-old midfielder reached a contractual agreement with the English club.
While the two teams are nearing a deal, one major detail remains to be resolved in the negotiations.
The northern club’s management wants to keep their rising star on loan for the upcoming season, while the Citizens are pushing to add the player to their roster as early as this summer.
Having become the youngest player in history to appear in a European cup match, the Franco-Moroccan quickly caught the eye of Manchester City’s scouts.
It now remains to be seen whether the English champions will yield to Lille’s demands to officially seal this blockbuster transfer.
