Lille could be poised for a significant financial gain this summer as Real Madrid expresses interest in acquiring Ayoub Bouaddi, an 18-year-old Moroccan central midfielder.
Details: SkySports reports that Bouaddi has caught the attention of the Spanish giants, who are currently weighing their options. Lille is reportedly willing to sell the young talent but is demanding a fee of at least €70 million. The decision on whether to proceed with the transfer will ultimately lie with Real Madrid’s new head coach, José Mourinho.
Bouaddi, a product of Lille’s academy, has had a promising season, featuring in 42 matches and providing one assist. Should the transfer materialize, it would represent a significant step in the Moroccan’s burgeoning career. His current contract with Lille extends until 2029, and his market value is estimated at €50 million, according to Transfermarkt.
