Manchester

City

are

“pushing hard”

to sign Lille OSC midfielder

Ayyoub Bouaddi

(18), according to a report from

The Athletic

However, Paris Saint-Germain are not in the race to sign the Lille OSC midfielder.

Even before the FIFA World Cup, Bouaddi was a target for top clubs across Europe, and his performances for Morocco in North America have only bolstered his value. His future is expected to be solved soon. His club have been waiting for the midfielder to return from the World Cup before holding talks on his future. Whilst remaining with

Les Dogues

is a possibility,

LOSC

are open to sale, albeit for a high fee of around €100m,

reports.

As well as

Manchester City

, Arsenal and Manchester United have also been linked with making a move. PSG are not a contender for his signature. Should

sign Bouaddi, the intention would not be to send him back on loan to Northern France but rather to integrate him into the set-up.
