Real Madrid is gearing up to bolster its midfield next summer and has been evaluating a wide range of candidates for several weeks. The Merengues’ scouts are closely monitoring Adam Wharton and Chema Andres, but now another promising name has been added to the list — Ayyoub Bouaddi.
According to Foot Mercato, the 18-year-old Lille midfielder, who has already cemented his place in the starting lineup, is attracting attention from Europe’s elite, including Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and PSG. The "Dogues" have set Bouaddi’s price tag at €60 million and are open to offers.
For Real, that sum is hardly a stumbling block — the club has long proven its willingness to invest in young stars. Madrid have already snapped up Ligue 1 midfield talents like Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga. In the coming months, the club will continue to analyze potential signings, but all signs increasingly suggest Bouaddi could emerge as their top target for a summer move.
