Real Madrid have added Lille midfielder Ayoub Bouaddi to their summer shortlist and are prepared to rival Arsenal, Liverpool and PSG for his signature.
The 18-year-old placed himself in the spotlight this summer after excelling for Morocco at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Bouaddi’s performances have helped Morocco to the verge of the knockout rounds, while attracting interest from leading European clubs.
According to Foot Mercato, Real Madrid have now entered the running, as Jose Mourinho continues his rebuild in Spain.
The La Liga side have added the experience of Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konate, Bernardo Silva and Marc Cucurella, with Bouaddi viewed as a long-term answer in midfield.
Doubts remain over the futures of Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni, with Bouaddi shortlisted as a potential replacement.
Lille are reportedly open to a sale if a big offer arrives, with the French club expected to demand between €60M and €70M.
Arsenal and Liverpool have both made contact with the player’s camp to discuss a move to England, while Paris Saint-Germain are pushing to keep Bouaddi in Ligue 1. Lille are understood to favour a sale overseas, in a bid to avoid strengthening a direct rival.
