Real Madrid battle Man United, Arsenal & more in transfer hunt | OneFootball

La Liga giants Real Madrid have positioned themselves in the race for one of European football’s standout young talents.

The player in question? Ayyoub Bouaddi.

Bouaddi, for his part, is an 18-year-old midfielder, who has spent the campaign to date continuing to add to his sterling reputation.

Despite his tender years, Bouaddi is already one of the first names on the team sheet at Ligue 1 outfit Lille.

All told, across all competitions this term, the Frenchman has racked up 18 appearances.

And his dazzling performances along the way have long begun to turn heads amongst the continent’s top clubs.

As per a report from transfer insider Santi Aouna, amid an ongoing battle between France and Morocco for Bouaddi’s international allegiance:

‘Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Arsenal, PSG, and Juventus are all keeping a very close eye on him.’

Big-money offers are expected to begin arriving for Lille’s crown jewel as soon as next summer.
