Lille’s president, Olivier Létang, has declared that 18-year-old midfielder Bouaddi will not be sold for anything less than a substantial fee. Létang described Bouaddi as a “unique” talent with over 100 high-level matches already under his belt. While avoiding a specific price tag, he referenced the recent transfers of Anderson and Tonali as benchmarks for Bouaddi’s market value, placing it among the highest in the current market. This statement serves as a warning to European clubs interested in acquiring the promising young player. Létang’s comments came during an interview with Eurosport, shortly after Morocco’s victory against Canada. The club clearly aims to retain Bouaddi unless a very lucrative offer is presented, highlighting his importance to the team's future. This signals a firm stance from Lille during the transfer window.
