Manchester City Consider Loaning Ayyoub Bouaddi Back to Lille

Manchester City are considering loaning Ayyoub Bouaddi (18) back to Lille if they go ahead with moves to sign the midfielder during the summer transfer window, according to a report from The Athletic. The Moroccan international midfielder is attracting interest from several clubs ahead of a possible transfer. The Premier League club is not the only party interested in signing the 18 year old player, while the transfer window is still open. Real Madrid is one of the clubs reportedly considering signing the Lille midfielder, but at the moment, they are more focused on other targets. If City sign Bouaddi, they are yet to decide what would be best for the teenager who is in impressive form with Morocco at the FIFA World Cup. The double domestic winners are still undecided about whether to loan him back to the club where he developed or keep him in the squad, giving him game time where possible.
