Paris Saint-Germain learns Ayyoub Bouaddi’s transfer valuation

Paris Saint-Germain is bracing for a dynamic transfer window in the coming days. The capital club aims to bolster its squad this summer and has activated several leads in the transfer market. Parisian management is reportedly closely monitoring Ayyoub Bouaddi’s situation, and the Rouge-et-Bleu now understand the significant cost associated with securing his signature.

Following their second consecutive Champions League triumph, PSG believes it is time to rejuvenate Luis Enrique’s roster. Consequently, the capital club has explored numerous transfer options, including a move for Ayyoub Bouaddi. The 18-year-old midfielder has impressed immensely with Morocco during the current 2026 World Cup campaign. His profile has captured the interest of Parisian executives, among others. The talented LOSC player appears to have a wide array of choices for his future career path.

LOSC sets Ayyoub Bouaddi’s asking price

Ayyoub Bouaddi is widely regarded as one of the most coveted young talents currently available. The Lille prodigy is reportedly a target for PSG, but also for FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Inter, and several Premier League clubs. While Real Madrid was previously mentioned in connection with the dossier, the Merengue are reportedly focusing on other targets for the time being. LOSC, for its part, would ideally prefer to retain him for an additional season to feature him in their upcoming Champions League squad. However, should a transfer materialize, the Dogues are expecting a fee in the region of €80M.

Is LOSC prepared to bypass PSG?

Reports indicate that the Ligue 1 club would rather facilitate a sale to the Premier League, with Manchester City being an ideal destination, than to PSG. It remains to be seen what Ayyoub Bouaddi will ultimately decide regarding his future. However, with the 2026 World Cup serving as a prominent showcase, it is highly anticipated that the Moroccan international will be one of the most significant attractions of this summer’s transfer window in the coming days.
