Man City confirm Ayyoub Bouaddi signing from Lille for €95m+€5m

Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille on a five-year contract. The club set out the news on Wednesday morning.

Details were first published by Ben Jacobs, who reports a package worth €95m guaranteed plus a further €5m in add-ons. That structure would take the total outlay to €100m if the bonuses are triggered.

Bouaddi’s first comments on joining focused on standards and results, stating that winning will be the priority and that the team will give everything to meet those demands. His remarks accompanied news of the transfer.

An official confirmation from City indicates the transfer has been completed and registration is under way. Bouaddi would be available to feature once the necessary paperwork and international clearance are in place.

The report did not specify further contract particulars such as any option clauses or performance-related triggers.
