Ayyoub Bouaddi

Recent reports from July 2026 indicate Lille's president values an immediate transfer at €100 million, or €80 million if it includes a loan-back agreement, while also referencing benchmark transfers of ~€135m and ~€115m. One report mentioned a Manchester City offer of ~€120m (£100m). Throughout June 2026, the asking price was consistently cited between €80m and €100m, with former director Medhi Benatia also valuing the player at €100m. Earlier valuations have risen steeply over time; reports from late 2025 cited a €60m asking price, which followed estimates of €30-40m in November 2025 and €25-30m in late 2024.

Our valuation is driven by the consistent and high asking price set by Lille's president, who has publicly stated a range of €80-100 million for Ayyoub Bouaddi, explicitly rejecting offers of €50 million as insufficient. The intense, widespread interest from Europe's wealthiest clubs, including Manchester City, Arsenal, and Real Madrid, creates a competitive market that supports a fee at the upper end of this reported range.
