Lille’s Ayyoub Bouaddi to join PSG? | OneFootball

On Thursday, ESPN reported that Lille OSC midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi (18) was nearing a move to Paris Saint-Germain. 

Bouaddi does fit the profile of the new PSG project as a high-prospect Frenchman, already playing in Ligue 1. However, Sacha Tavolieri now reports that the Lille midfielder’s entourage has strongly denied that there are any ongoing talks with the reigning European champions.

A €100m valuation

The last club to attempt a move for Bouaddi, Tavolieri reports, was AC Milan back in the summer. However, the Italian club’s proposal fell a long way short of LOSC’s valuation of their academy product. Whilst AC Milan’s proposal was worth around €20m, Les Dogues value the player at more like €100m. That valuation still stands.

LOSC remain determined to keep their prospect beyond next summer. Last summer, they lost one of their finest, Lucas Chevalier, to Les Parisiens. The France international joined PSG in a deal worth a reported €40m.
