🚨 UPDATE: Manchester City’s current idea is to sign Ayyoub Bouaddi now and keep him at Lille on loan for one more season before moving to City in 2027, reports @FabrizioRomano. 🇲🇦🔄

The structure of the deal is still being discussed. City made contact with people close to the player some time ago and remain in talks.

Several clubs remain interested, including Paris Saint-Germain. However, the French club is currently prioritising other positions, giving City an opportunity to move ahead in the race.

🚨🗣️NEW: Eden Hazard on the Doku controversy: ‘A World Cup comes every four years. Your first child comes once’

“People are acting like Doku is abandoning his country. For what? To witness the birth of his first child? Football has lost its mind. A World Cup comes every four years. Your first child comes once. There will be another tournament, another trophy, another headline. There will never be another first breath from your son.

Some journalists call it ‘disgusting.’ No, what’s disgusting is a world where a player is praised for missing his child’s birth but criticized for being a father. We celebrate loyalty to a badge and mock loyalty to blood. That’s backwards.

You don’t postpone the first cry of your son because a tournament is on. You don’t negotiate with life the way you negotiate with a defender. This is not a friendly. This is not a game you can replay.

Your first child… bringing them into this world… it is a blessing. It only happens once. Everything else — the jersey, the crowd, the cameras — that is noise.
Important noise, yes. But still noise.

A man who turns his back on that moment to chase another trophy is not strong. He is empty. I have lifted everything there is to lift in this game. I know what stays when the final whistle blows and the stadium goes dark. It is not the medal. It is the eyes that look at you like you are their entire world.

Let the boy go home. Let him hold his wife’s hand when it matters. The World Cup will still be here in four years. His son’s first breath will not wait for anyone.

Football teaches you to fight. Fatherhood teaches you why you fight. Some people confuse the two. That is their problem, not Doku’s.”

The latest round of stories suggesting Manchester City are "concerned" by Elliot Anderson's £120m valuation are exactly the sort of non-story that fills the summer content vacuum.

Negotiations do not move on a daily basis. Clubs establish positions, agents establish positions, selling clubs establish positions, and then discussions take place over weeks and months. A valuation being reported in June is not a final price, just as a first offer is rarely the last offer.

City have operated this way for nearly two decades.

One of the biggest misconceptions in football is that City simply pay whatever is asked. The reality is almost the opposite. Since the takeover, City have consistently been among the toughest negotiators in the market because they understand the perception surrounding their ownership. Every selling club believes they should pay a premium. City's recruitment teams have spent years trying to resist exactly that.

Kevin De Bruyne is probably the best example. Throughout the summer of 2015 there were constant stories that Wolfsburg wanted more than City were willing to pay, that negotiations were difficult, that the deal was in doubt and that City would not meet the asking price. Yet De Bruyne remained City's number one target throughout the entire window and eventually arrived before deadline day.

The lesson is simple. The existence of a valuation gap does not tell you whether a deal is alive or dead. It simply tells you negotiations are taking place.

If Manchester City genuinely believe Elliot Anderson is the right player, and all indications suggest he is among the club's priority midfield targets, then the process will play out over the course of the summer exactly as these processes always do.

The media need daily updates. Transfers don't work daily.

John Stones: "I really wanted to try and enjoy every moment of it [my last #ManCity game], and it's a bit surreal because you don't expect this when you join the club, to feel the love, support - it's difficult. When you love somewhere, you don't want it to end, and things in life come to an end!" [via @SkySportsPL]
