Olivier giroud weighs in on ayyoub bouaddi’s future amidst psg, real madrid interest

Despite Ayyoub Bouaddi signing a contract extension with LOSC until June 2029 last December, the agreement has seemingly done little to cool the interest of top European clubs. The current sentiment suggests that Paris Saint-Germain holds a considerable advantage over rivals like Arsenal and Real Madrid, both of whom are keen on securing the 18-year-old Moroccan international’s services.

“his head is well-made in the sense that he is calm, he is confident”

Having played alongside Bouaddi at Lille this season, Olivier Giroud leveraged his role as a pundit to provide a glowing assessment of the young talent. “I was impressed by his maturity and by his really healthy environment. His head is well-made in the sense that he is calm, he is confident. He always remains himself, even on the pitch. It’s a gift to have him in your team. I think Morocco can be truly very happy to have him,” Giroud remarked, highlighting Bouaddi’s exceptional temperament and character.

“if he gets there then he will play for real madrid next season”

Despite PSG’s reported pursuit, Olivier Giroud believes that Real Madrid could be Bouaddi’s eventual destination, provided he refines his finishing skills. “He showed his talent from the very first match, and this is just the beginning because he is only 18 years old. I think it will be difficult to keep him at Lille. He is a very complete player. The only thing he needs to improve, and he knows it because we tell him often, is his finishing. He needs to be more aggressive in front of goal. If he achieves that, then he will play for Real Madrid next season.”
