Real Madrid is following Ayyoub Bouaddi closely. LOSC president Olivier Létang stated on RMC that €50 million is not enough for the player, explaining that an extraordinary amount, which he described as a lot of money, would be needed. He added that they are far from the amount that would make them let Bouaddi go. In an interview with Eurosport, Létang said that many clubs are interested in Bouaddi, but very few can currently afford him. The president described him as already one of the best midfielders in the world with a very big margin for progression. Létang also mentioned that Bouaddi is only 18, has his career ahead of him, and is focused on continuing to grow and win everything. Létang referenced the transfer fees for Elliot Anderson, about €135 million, and Sandro Tonali, about €115 million, indicating that signing Bouaddi this summer will probably require one of the biggest fees of the summer market.

Real Madrid has reportedly been keeping an eye on Bouaddi, suggesting that there might be an intense transfer battle looming for the young player's signature. At just 17 years old, Bouaddi has already made 20 appearances in Ligue 1 for Lille this season and has also caught attention with his performances in the Champions League. This has led to significant interest from top European clubs. However, any potential transfer would have to wait until January 2026, as Bouaddi will not turn 18 until October. This delay provides Real Madrid, along with other interested clubs like Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig, with time to plan their strategies for acquiring the talented midfielder, whose current contract with Lille is set to expire in two years.
