PSG targets Ayyoub Bouaddi as Lille sets 80 million euro price tag

The summer transfer window is shaping up to be eventful for PSG. After securing their second straight Champions League title, the Parisian club is reportedly exploring various options to rejuvenate Luis Enrique’s squad. Among the names under consideration is Ayyoub Bouaddi, the 18-year-old Moroccan midfielder who turned heads during the group stage of the 2026 World Cup. However, convincing LOSC to part ways with their young star will require a significant financial effort.

Ayyoub Bouaddi has plenty of options for his future

Ayyoub Bouaddi has no shortage of suitors for his future. Clubs from the Premier League, as well as Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, and PSG, are all monitoring his progress. The Parisians have been actively tracking young talents and are keen on securing his signature. But LOSC will only green-light a move if the offer meets their valuation of a ‘very big transfer’. The Lille side has reportedly set a price tag of €80 million for Bouaddi.

PSG has other transfer priorities

It remains to be seen whether PSG will meet LOSC’s demands. For now, bolstering the midfield is not their top priority. The double European champions are focusing more on strengthening their attack and defense, which is why names like Maghnes Akliouche and Eli Junior Kroupi have been linked with the club in recent weeks. Stay tuned for further developments.
