Real Madrid joins the battle for Bouaddi: Liverpool sees a transfer of 70 million in danger

Real Madrid has officially joined the battle for Ayoub Bouaddi, according to Italian reports. The 18-year-old Moroccan midfielder from Lille is one of the revelations of this World Cup and has been on Liverpool's radar for some time.

Liverpool's interest in Bouaddi was previously reported by transfer journalism, and now La Gazzetta dello Sport writes that José Mourinho would also like to see the top talent move to Madrid. The question, however, is where Bouaddi would fit in immediately, because the competition in the Madrid midfield is fierce.


Bouaddi, who turns 19 in October, has burst into the spotlight on the global stage this summer with adult performances. Lille initially stuck with a price tag in the region of £70m, but his strong World Cup displays could push that sum further.

For Liverpool, the interest from Madrid means the margin for error is small. With several top European clubs in the market, no deal will be easy, while Lille is firmly in negotiations due to the long contract term and market interest.

There have been no concrete agreements yet, but the coming weeks - as long as Bouaddi maintains his form at the World Cup - seem decisive. Real Madrid's entrance turns the Bouaddi case into a full-fledged transfer battle, in which timing and persuasion can make the difference.
