Several top European clubs are competing to sign Ayyoub Bouaddi, an 18-year-old French talent from Lille. Teams like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain are strongly pursuing the midfielder, who is considered a potential future superstar. Born in 2007, Bouaddi has gained significant attention since making his debut in 2023. His performance during Lille’s Champions League group stage victory against Real Madrid particularly drew widespread notice.
Amidst this interest, Lille has successfully extended the player’s contract until 2029. The club now aims to sell him next season for a price above 50 million euros. It is understood that Arsenal, French champions PSG, and Chelsea are all preparing to make a move for him in the next transfer window. Arsenal’s effort to sign the player this January ended after he agreed to the new contract. Arsenal’s Sporting Director, Andre Berta, had held talks with the player’s representatives, with the club reportedly ready to pay up to 45 million euros. A tough competition for the young midfielder is now expected in the upcoming transfer window.
