Melbourne City hold interest in Manchester City target Ayyoub Bouaddi

Melbourne City are monitoring Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, as reported by TEAMtalk - Transfer News, with the A-League club understood to hold interest in the Morocco international. The reported link sits alongside Premier League attention: CaughtOffside reports Manchester City have intensified contact with Bouaddi’s camp, while Arsenal remain firmly in the running — with Lille’s asking price cited at £85m. Any Melbourne City approach would be unconfirmed at this stage and faces substantial competition from top-flight European clubs. No fee, contract length, or direct Melbourne-to-Lille contact has been reported.
