Real Madrid has officially confirmed their interest in LOSC Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, as reported by multiple sources. The 18-year-old French youth international has been a standout performer for Lille this season, attracting attention from top European clubs.
According to a statement from Real Madrid's sporting director, the club views Bouaddi as a long-term investment for their midfield. However, no formal offer has been made yet, and negotiations are expected to be complex given Bouaddi's contract with Lille until 2027.
Lille president Olivier Létang has previously stated that the club is not under pressure to sell, but a significant bid could change their stance. Bouaddi has made 35 appearances for Lille this season, scoring 3 goals and providing 5 assists.
