Ayyoub Bouaddi has become one of the most wanted young players on the planet thanks to his World Cup performances and Lille will not let him leave cheaply, or possibly even this summer.
The 18-year-old has been starring for Morocco as they enjoy another fine World Cup outing after their semi-final run in 2022.
The penalty shootout victory over Netherlands on Monday saw Morocco progress to the last 16, where they will play Canada and fancy their chances of another quarter-final visit.
Bouaddi has played in three of his country’s four matches so far, having only won three caps before the tournament began.
He has already racked up a lot of experience for his age at club level, making 96 appearances for Lille in all competitions, including nine in the Champions League.
The all-action midfielder has attracted the attention of the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Bayern Munich.
Understandably, given the level of clubs interested in the Morocco international, Lille want a huge price for his signature.
