Both Arsenal and Liverpool have engaged in a fierce market dispute to try to sign Ayyoub Bouaddi, the French-Moroccan midfielder from Lille who has become one of the great revelations of the 2026 World Cup.

The outstanding performance of the midfielder with the Atlas Lions, recently eliminated by France in the quarterfinals, caught the attention of the technical secretariats of the English Premier League after the initial strong interest from Real Madrid cooled off.

Arsenal and Liverpool want to sign Ayyoub Bouaddi

The noble hierarchy of the French squad, led by Davide Ancelotti in the dugout, is not willing to facilitate the departure of their young 18-year-old gem and has set his transfer fee at a fixed amount of 100 million euros, also imposing the unavoidable condition of keeping him on loan next season in Ligue 1.

This striking financial demand from the board of Les Dogues poses a significant obstacle in the formal negotiations as revealed by the specialized portal Football Insider. The proposal to buy the player in this month of July and immediately loan him to France does not fully convince the British commissions, who wish to have his services from the first league matchday. However, the meteoric rise of the right midfielder forces both British giants to seriously consider the financial concession due to the imminent danger of other European powers deciding to meddle and thus increasing the bidding for the player.

The defensive midfielder is fully protected contractually with the institution in northern France, having signed a labor contract extension valid until June 2029. British scouts possess highly positive reports on his physical performance and positional intelligence despite his extreme youth. At just 18 years old, the midfielder set precocity records by accumulating 50 official matches in Ligue 1 and playing in the Champions League, establishing an ideal positional regularity that justifies the million-dollar aspirations held by the Lille board in international transfer negotiations.

Arsenal's Plans and Competition at the Emirates Stadium

Mikel Arteta closely monitors the steps of the Moroccan midfielder with the firm intention of injecting energy and clean ball control in the midfield of the Gunners. The coaching staff of the London squad values his versatility to act as an organizing pivot or advanced interior, profiling him as an ideal strategic asset to complement their current midfield lineup.

Interest in the jewel from Lille is managed simultaneously in the capital offices while sports directors await a definitive resolution regarding Brazilian Bruno Guimarães, the other great desire of the London board for this summer transfer window. The addition of Ayyoub Bouaddi would guarantee an asset with extended financial growth potential for the accounting balances, allowing a sustainable generational shift in the English midfield.

Liverpool's Offensive under Andoni Iraola

At Anfield Road, sporting needs take on an urgency due to the imminent reconfiguration that the Reds' squad will undergo with the possible departure of Alexis Mac Allister to Spain. The new team's head coach, the Spanish Andoni Iraola, has identified the African international as the ideal defensive midfielder prototype to develop their characteristic model of associative play and quick vertical transitions.

Merseyside's recruitment department believes that the player possesses the physical deployment and tactical insight required to succeed in British football in both the short and long term. The upcoming weeks of this intense summer month will be decisive to determine which of the two franchises presents the first formal economic proposal in writing to overcome the resistance of the French entity. With the market advancing at a frenetic pace in Europe, the definitive fate of Ayyoub Bouaddi will depend on the ability of Arsenal or Liverpool to accommodate the 100 million euros within their respective financial structures for the season.
