Why ayyoub bouaddi’s move to psg is on hold this summer

Listen now2 min

After securing a second consecutive Champions League title, Paris Saint-Germain is preparing for an active summer transfer window. The Ligue 1 champions aim to bolster Luis Enrique’s squad and have been exploring multiple options. Among them, the club is monitoring the situation of Ayyoub Bouaddi, the 18-year-old midfielder currently representing Morocco at the 2026 World Cup. However, a specific factor is stalling his arrival at the Parc des Princes.

Manchester city has a plan for bouaddi

Manchester City remains in discussions regarding Bouaddi. Contacts were established with the player’s close circle some time ago. Reports indicate that the Premier League side intends to sign him now but allow him to stay at Lille for an additional season until the summer of 2027. Although the deal is not yet finalised, City is actively working to secure the agreement.

Psg’s priority lies in attack and defence

Other clubs are also in the race. Liverpool and Arsenal have held meetings, while PSG continues to follow the player. However, the Parisians have not yet moved forward on this file because their primary focus is reinforcing the attack and defence. This gives Manchester City an edge as they try to close the deal for 2027. Regardless, Ayyoub Bouaddi will have no shortage of options when it comes to his future. The situation is worth monitoring closely.
