Reports indicate that Lille are ready to part ways with their wonderkid, but are demanding no less than €70 million for him. The final decision on whether to pursue Bouaddi will rest with Real Madrid’s new head coach, José Mourinho.

Bouaddi is a Lille academy product, and if the transfer goes through, it will mark the first major move of the Moroccan’s career.

Last season, Bouaddi featured in 42 matches for Lille, contributing one assist. His current contract with Lille runs until 2029, while his market value is estimated at €50 million according to Transfermarkt.
