Ayyoub Bouaddi, the 18-year-old midfielder for LOSC Lille (contract until 2029) and the French U21 team, has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain during the transfer window. Foot Mercato reports that PSG will be in the running again this summer, with the player open to a transfer.
“According to our information, a departure at the end of the season seems inevitable for the player. The idea is to use the summer to take the next step in his very young career. And as for potential suitors, PSG remains determined to sign him. While the club was keeping an eye on him this winter, the priority within the capital club was to make him a priority this summer. And the management hasn’t forgotten this objective, as they fully intend to recruit him to strengthen Luis Enrique’s midfield.
The competition will be fierce for this player, particularly with Arsenal, who seem to be the most serious contender to challenge PSG.” LOSC are obviously expecting a substantial fee to sell their player, who is now under contract until June 2029.
Nothing is impossible; Bouaddi is a player with immense potential who is sure to interest PSG and other major clubs. He extended his contract, but this could be to allow Lille to negotiate a better price. It could be a busy summer, with a significant step up for the midfielder. Paris is a possible destination, but nothing is certain.
