According to TEAMtalk, Paris Saint-Germain are in a leading position to sign Ayyoub Bouaddi. The club's football advisor, Luis Campos, is one of Bouaddi’s biggest admirers and has been strongly advocating internally for the French champions to secure a deal. Campos reportedly views the Lille player as what he considers a special talent and believes he could eventually become the successor to Fabian Ruiz in PSG’s midfield. PSG remain the club in the best position to sign Bouaddi this summer, despite Lille demanding a record-breaking fee of more than £60 million for the midfielder. Both Arsenal and PSG believe Bouaddi has the potential to justify such an investment, but are aware of the precedent such a fee would set for a player still in his teens. PSG’s financial power and Campos’ influence ensure they remain strong competitors.
