Ayyoub Bouaddi to Manchester City for €101m

BBC reports that Manchester City have completed the signing of Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi for a reported fee of €101m. The transfer has been confirmed and is now official. Across the media landscape, twenty‑seven outlets are tracking the story.

Onside’s model values Bouaddi at €39m, indicating the club is paying significantly above its internal valuation. The model’s fee‑vs‑value read flags the deal as an overpay relative to the estimated worth. Onside’s confidence in the data is recorded at 100%.

The midfielder joins a Manchester City squad that has been active in the market, adding depth to their midfield options. The transfer fee, reported at €101m, reflects a substantial investment in the young Moroccan international, despite the model’s lower valuation.
