Lille's 18‑year‑old midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi has become the hottest link on the market. Arsenal, Paris Saint‑Germain and Bayern Munich all submitted inquiries, according to Nicolo Schira. Lille set an asking price near €75 million, a figure likely to climb after Bouaddi starred for the Atlas Lions in a 1‑1 draw with Brazil at the World Cup. His blend of technical skill and defensive work rate convinced scouts that he could adapt to any top league. His arrival could also free up a squad slot for Lille, easing their rebuild.
