Ayyoub Bouaddi, the 18-year-old midfielder for LOSC Lille (contract until 2027) and the French U21 national team, has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain during the transfer window. PSG Inside Actu reports that discussions between the two clubs could progress soon with a special arrangement.
“Ayyoub Bouaddi would like to join PSG. Paris would offer him a 5-year contract with a 30% pay rise. The club would consider loaning him out until the end of the season. LOSC Lille is reportedly open to discussions, and a meeting could take place soon. Paris wants him.”
Nothing is impossible; such an arrangement isn’t entirely common, but it does exist. This is particularly evident with young talents from outside Europe, with transfers occurring during the summer before they finish the season in their home country when it runs on a calendar year basis, extending into winter. This can also be implemented in Europe, and it wouldn’t be unreasonable in Bouaddi’s case.
He would fit perfectly into the Parisian project, with immense (French) talent to be nurtured within the squad. Despite his young age, the midfielder already possesses a strong personality, allowing him to utilize his technical ability effectively in midfield. He might be tempted by a move to Paris, with its strong team spirit, ambition, and exposure. We’ve seen several players join a national team, including the French national team, while still part of the Parisian squad.
However, nothing is certain at the moment. It’s just a rumor, so we must remain cautious. Bouaddi may have other plans, such as PSG and Lille. There is also no talk yet of negotiating the price, which can be complicated.
