Real Madrid move to monitor Moroccan talent Ayyoub Bouaddi

Real Madrid are monitoring Ayyoub Bouaddi after his Morocco performances at the World Cup.

Moroccan midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi has entered Real Madrid’s monitoring circle during the 2026 World Cup after catching attention with Morocco in the group stage.

According to Spanish reports, Real Madrid scouts attended Morocco’s match against Scotland to watch the Lille midfielder closely as the club assesses young options for the future of its midfield.

Bouaddi is 18 years old and plays for Lille, with his profile rising after a strong display against Brazil and his involvement in Morocco’s win over Scotland.

There is no confirmed formal offer from Real Madrid at this stage, so the file remains in the monitoring and evaluation phase, while reports suggest Lille would not treat a potential exit as a low-value deal.
