PSG can forget about Ayyoub Bouaddi. Tracked by the Parisian club during the transfer window, the young Lille midfielder is ultimately set to continue his career in the Premier League with Manchester City.
Ayyoub Bouaddi is leaving Ligue 1 without joining PSG. Lille and Manchester City have reached an agreement for the Frenchman’s transfer, with the deal potentially rising to €100 million including various bonuses.

The deal had already been well advanced for several weeks. Bouaddi reportedly agreed to join Manchester City back in July and wanted to become part of the Citizens’ project. The only thing left was for the two clubs to reach an agreement, which has now been done. According to RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins, Lille have given the green light for their young midfielder to leave.
