Paris Saint-Germain is actively seeking to bolster its squad this summer, with a particular focus on Ligue 1 talents. Among the promising prospects attracting their attention is Ayyoub Bouaddi. The young midfielder still has three years remaining on his current deal with LOSC, meaning any interested club will need to present a significant offer to persuade President Olivier Létang to sanction a departure. Indications suggest that a fee in the region of €70M could be sufficient to secure the services of the 18-year-old.
Earlier in June, LOSC President Olivier Létang conveyed his strong desire to retain Ayyoub Bouaddi for the upcoming season, acknowledging the intense interest from clubs like PSG. When pressed about the possibility of a substantial bid from the capital club, Létang stated that such a scenario would necessitate direct discussions with Ayyoub, as this topic had been part of their previous conversations.
LOSC demands an ‘extraordinary’ sum
Despite extending his contract until June 2029 last December, Ayyoub Bouaddi remains a potential target for top European clubs. However, any suitor hoping to pry him away from LOSC must come forward with a truly compelling proposal. Létang emphasized, “We’ve had very regular exchanges with Ayyoub. Our primary objective is to keep him. But, if an extraordinary offer materializes, we might then consider his departure.” When asked if an amount exceeding €50M would suffice, Létang firmly responded, “No, that’s not enough. We are far from the figure that would allow us to let Ayyoub go.”
Bouaddi’s valuation reportedly set at €70M
Reports from journalist Sacha Tavolieri indicate that the Moroccan international, who boasts three senior caps, has been valued at €70M. PSG, however, faces stiff competition for Bouaddi’s signature from Premier League giants Arsenal. The Gunners have reportedly identified him as a top priority to reinforce their midfield and have maintained consistent contact with the player and his representatives since January 2025. While Ayyoub Bouaddi is said to favor a move to Paris, he has reportedly shown receptiveness to the London club’s approach, signaling that he is not opposed to a transfer to England.
