Since Ayyoub Bouabbi emerged at Lille, his name has been repeated by talent scouts across Europe. In the current market debate, he is proposed as the 'new Rabiot'. After Adrien Rabiot's return to Serie A with Allegri, Juventus de Turín has focused on this young Frenchman to strengthen their midfield.

Bouabbi on Juventus and other European giants' radar

According to 'Calciomercato', Juventus is closely monitoring the development of Ayyoub Bouabbi at Lille. The bianconeri officials have sent delegates to several matches of the French team, especially after establishing a good relationship with the red and white club for the Zhegrova deal.

They are not the only interested party; Premier League clubs have also set their sights on Bouabbi, with scouts present at Lille's games. Last summer, AC Milan explored his potential before shifting focus to Jashari.

The consideration of the "new Rabiot" is not unfounded: his physical profile, technical ball control, and ability have led to constant comparisons to Adrien Rabiot in French and Italian media.

His role at Lille and reasons for the interest

In his third season with Lille, Bouabbi has taken on more responsibilities. Coach Bruno Genesio has entrusted him with the midfield, positioning him as their defensive-organizing pillar.

Moreover, his estimated value is around 30 million euros, giving an idea of his worth in the market. His current contract runs until June 2027, providing Lille with negotiation leverage.

In the previous season, he played 24 games in Ligue 1, along with appearances in the Champions League and other competitions, enhancing his reputation in European football.

Juventus facing a strategic decision

Juventus needs to strengthen their midfield from January to June. Besides Bouabbi, the bianconeri have been linked with Sandro Tonali, possibly returning to Serie A from Newcastle, and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, currently with Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia.

The appeal of the 2007-born Frenchman lies not only in his immediate talent but also in his potential resale value. If the Vecchia Signora can strike a deal with Lille, the profit could be substantial.

Bouaddi, on Juventus' agenda

However, it won't be easy; Lille is already anticipating the potential profit they could make and won't let him go cheaply. Additionally, Bouabbi has been nominated for the 2025 Kopa Trophy, emphasizing his global projection.

The future scenario: commitment or wait

If Juventus decides to act decisively, they may compete with English clubs also closely monitoring him. An early move could make a difference, preventing his value from skyrocketing.

For Lille, having a player with interest from giants like Juventus is a strategic advantage. They could not only secure a significant economic return but also showcase their talent development capacity to the world.

In the coming months, we will see if club contacts are confirmed, if concrete offers are made, and if Ayyoub Bouabbi makes the leap to Serie A. In any case, his name will be linked to major market decisions. Ultimately, everything indicates that the "new Rabiot" could soon become a reality in Turin. Ayyoub Bouabbi
