"Manchester City” club head coach Enzo Maresca, after a 0:3 loss to London’s "Arsenal”, commented on the actions during the transfer window and the upcoming arrival of Ayoub Bouaddi:

"We already knew before this match that we needed to do certain things.

We know what we have to do. We will also be busy.”

"A. Bouaddi is still part of the ‘LOSC Lille’ team...

But if we talk about new signings, the sooner the better, as the new ‘Premier’ league season will start next weekend.”

Ayoub Bouaddi will replace the departing midfielder Rodri, who is moving to ‘Barcelona’, in this team.

The 18-year-old Ayoub Bouaddi has been playing for ‘LOSC Lille’ since 2023 and has played 96 matches.

This midfielder played five matches in the World Cup and was one of the most important Moroccan players.
