The 18-year-old plays for Lille OSC and has drawn attention after his performances, notably during a match against Brazil.
Bouaddi, who turned 18 in October 2025, has been a regular for Lille's first team this season. His displays in midfield have attracted interest from several top European clubs, with Romano confirming that the three clubs are now in active talks.
No official bid has been made yet, and Lille have not commented on the reports. Bouaddi's contract with Lille runs until 2027, giving the French club a strong negotiating position.
