Sources: Man City near deal for Lille star Bouaddi

Manchester City are close to signing Lille and Morocco defensive midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, with personal terms already agreed on a five-year contract and Lille's €100 million (£87.5 million) valuation acknowledged. The two clubs are discussing bonus structures this week, with all parties hoping to finalise the deal quickly. The 18-year-old's potential move was facilitated by Rodri's departure to Barcelona for €76.5 million, and follows City's recent €135 million signing of Elliot Anderson.
