Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea are keeping tabs on him as well. It will be interesting to see if the Red Devils are willing to pay up. The player will cost around €50 million, and the French outfit is in no hurry to sell him.

Manchester United need more control and composure in the middle of the park, and the 18-year-old could prove to be an excellent long-term investment. Bouaddi is a tremendous talent with a bright future, and he could develop into a key player for Manchester United.

The Premier League giants have an impressive track record when it comes to grooming young players. They could help the French under-21 Internation fulfil his potential at Old Trafford.

Signing a reliable central midfielder like him could prove to be a wise investment for them. Manchester United have struggled to control games in the middle of the park, and they need to invest in that area of the pitch. Along with the 18-year-old, they should look to invest in an experienced central midfielder as well.

Bouaddi will want to compete at a high-level, but he needs to join a club where there is a prominent role for him and a clear plan for his development. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

Arsenal and Chelsea are looking to add more depth in the middle of the park as well. They have competitive teams, and they will look to improve further so that they can fight for major trophies. The 18-year-old could be a solid long-term acquisition for them as well.
