Ayyoub Bouaddi continues to attract the attention of some of the big sides in football, as LOSC Lille will reportedly demand €30 million.
According toCaught Offside, Ayyoub Bouaddi has continued to garner massive interest from some of the big teams, as a future move is more likely than not. Manchester City and Real Madrid are reportedly tipped to make a move for the teenager, while Arsenal and Liverpool are among those keeping close tabs.
LOSC Lille have continued to rely heavily on its youth development program as there’s another big future star in the works at the moment. Having sold prodigious young centre-back Leny Yoro in the summer to Manchester United, they could have their next big teenage sensation on the move.
Ayyoub Bouaddi, the young central midfielder, has been garnering rave reviews for his performances in a Lille shirt. Some of the big teams are already making their presence felt for the signing of the young star, withArsenal and Liverpool among those keen.
The English giants are eager to bring players that are closer to the first team than to the youth sides. Hence, their interest in a talent like the 17-year-old midfielder seems valid, as they could be among the many clubs looking to open talks with Lille over a future move.
Lille are unlikely to make the sale in January as they are on the verge of losingManchester United target Angel Gomes on the cheap. Losing two key central midfielders in a short space will hurt their sporting ambitions, but Bouaddi could be on the move next summer.
Manchester City, Real Madrid in Bouaddi chase
Apart from Arsenal and Liverpool, Manchester City and Real Madrid are tipped to make a move for the teenager in the near future. Both these sides are always eager to add the best young profiles in the market and have the knack to pay decent money to get their targets on board.
Lille, for their part, are set to demand at least €30 million to part ways with the 17-year-old midfielder, although any move in January could be doubtful. Manchester City have one of the best development programs around, and the chance to play under Pep Guardiola could be enticing for the teenager. The same goes for Real Madrid, who were interested in Yoro in the summer, and now they could lure Bouaddi to the club.
