The summer transfer window is shaping up to be busy for Paris Saint-Germain. The Ligue 1 champions are reportedly exploring several avenues to refresh Luis Enrique’s squad after securing their second consecutive Champions League title. Among the names surfacing is Ayyoub Bouaddi, the 18-year-old Lille midfielder who turned heads during the 2026 World Cup group stage with Morocco. However, prying him away from the northern club will require a financial statement.
Having lifted the Champions League trophy for a second straight year, PSG are gearing up to be active in the market. The capital club intends to strengthen Luis Enrique’s squad with multiple signings, and several names have been floated in recent weeks. Ayyoub Bouaddi, the teenage midfielder who impressed for Morocco in the first round of the 2026 World Cup, is one of them. But convincing Lille to part with their jewel will demand a heavy investment.
Ayyoub Bouaddi faces a wealth of options for his future
Ayyoub Bouaddi has no shortage of suitors for his next move. A host of Premier League clubs, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and PSG are all monitoring his progress. The Parisians have been tracking young talent for a while and are seriously considering a move. However, Lille are expected to green-light a departure only for a “very big transfer.” Les Dogues have set the price tag at €80 million for their prodigy.
PSG have other transfer priorities for the moment
Whether PSG will meet Lille’s demands remains to be seen. The midfielder is not the club’s top priority right now. The double European champions are focusing more on bolstering their attack and defence. That is why names like Maghnes Akliouche and Eli Junior Kroupi have been mentioned in recent weeks. The story is still developing.
