Manchester City sets condition for Ayyoub Bouaddi transfer amid Rodri speculation

Summary

Manchester City is in a strong position to acquire Ayyoub Bouaddi for £85 million this summer, dependent on Rodri's future with the club. Bouaddi, who performed well for Morocco in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, may join City if Rodri moves to Real Madrid, a scenario complicated by Rodri's recent back surgery. Reports indicate that while several major clubs are interested in Bouaddi, Manchester City has become the most likely destination. The transfer has shifted following Rodri's success in leading Spain to victory at the World Cup, which has revived Real Madrid's interest in him.
