Real Madrid, Manchester United and Arsenal monitor PSG target Ayyoub Bouaddi | OneFootball

Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi (18) attracts interest from a handful of major clubs across Europe, according to a report from Foot Mercato. The 18-year-old, a very promising midfielder who blends physical presence with technical excellence and a maturity that defies his age, is reportedly already under the radar of Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG. Bouaddi is expected to leave Lille OSC next summer, given Lille won’t be in a position to turn down a major bid, even though Bouaddi recently extended his contract. Les Dogues would reportedly be willing to part ways with their prospect in exchange for a €60m transfer package.

According to Foot Mercato, Bouaddi’s rare profile has not gone unnoticed among Europe’s elite. Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Juventus, PSG, Arsenal and Manchester United have all got their eyes turned towards the Lille midfielder. And they are not alone as well, given Bouaddi’s international future is still under consideration. The 18-year-old currently learns his trade with France’s U21 side, but Morocco covets him too, as Bouaddi – who is born in France – is of Moroccan descent.

The outlet understands that France manager Didier Deschamps has contacted Bouaddi to let him know that France will count on him for the foreseeable future, be it with Deschamps or with his successor after the 2026 World Cup.
