Arsenal have made an approach for Moroccan midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, but Lille are reluctant to let him go.
The French club would demand an €80 million transfer fee, which is a significant sum considering Bouaddi's age and experience. Lille are also keen to keep Bouaddi for another season, suggesting that Arsenal's offer may not be enough to convince them to sell.
Ayyoub Bouaddi has impressed for Morocco at the World Cup and has been praised by his former Lille teammate Olivier Giroud. Giroud believes that Bouaddi has the potential to join Real Madrid, citing his maturity and skillset as reasons why he would be a good fit for the club.
Giroud has compared Bouaddi to legendary players Patrick Vieira and Sergio Busquets, suggesting that he has the potential to become a world-class midfielder. However, he also believes that Bouaddi needs to work on his finishing and aggression in front of goal.
Olivier Giroud has backed Lille teammate Ayyoub Bouaddi to join Real Madrid. He believes that Bouaddi is a complete player, versatile and skilled, but needs to improve his finishing. Giroud thinks Bouaddi has the potential to join Real Madrid next year, but acknowledges that he still needs time to develop.
