According to Calciomercato, 17-year-old Ayyoub Bouaddi, a graduate of the renowned Lille academy, is one of the most sought-after young players in international football right now, and AC Milan and Juventus are expected to engage in a potentially intense transfer fight for him. Paulo Fonseca, the current coach of AC Milan and the previous manager of Lille, gave Bouaddi his debut in the 2023–24 campaign, and he made 18 appearances. By playing a crucial part in his team's 1-0 shock of the defending winners League winners Real Madrid last month and their 1-1 draw with Juventus earlier this week, the French prodigy has improved on his rookie season.

Fonseca now hopes to play alongside Bouaddi again at Milan, although Juve was undoubtedly pleased by their impressive performance in the middle of the week. According to the report, Lille wants to pay €18 million for Bouaddi.
