Manchester City have completed the signing of Morocco international Ayyoub Bouaddi in a deal worth €95 million, with a further €5 million available in add-ons.
Manchester City have moved quickly to strengthen their midfield with the highly rated youngster joining the club at a crucial time.
The 18-year-old midfielder has signed a long-term contract until 2031, arriving at City with growing expectations after making a strong impression on the international stage.
Bouaddi’s performances at the World Cup, including his impressive display against Brazil, have helped establish him as one of the most exciting young midfielders in world football.

His arrival comes as Manchester City reshape their midfield following the departures of Rodri Hernández, Bernardo Silva and Tijjani Reijnders. Concerns over Elliot Anderson’s fitness have further increased the club’s need for midfield reinforcements.
City will hope Bouaddi can adapt quickly and play an important role in what promises to be a major new chapter for the club.
The midfielder’s arrival also comes shortly after Pep Guardiola’s departure, ending his remarkable decade-long spell in charge of Manchester City.
For Bouaddi, the move represents a huge step in his young career and an opportunity to establish himself at one of Europe’s biggest clubs.
