Bayern Munich unlikely to bid for Moroccan youngster Ayyoub Bouaddi in January

German champions Bayern Munich will not be bidding to sign Moroccan teenager Ayyoub Bouaddi in the January transfer window despite interest in the player.

The 18-year-old, under contract with Lille until 2027, is regarded as one of the standout young talents of his generation.

His rising profile has sparked speculation, but according to the “Bayern Insider” podcast hosted by BILD journalists Christian Falk and Tobias Altschäffl, Bouaddi is not a concrete target for Bayern at this stage.

The reporters noted that while his name may appear on Bayern’s extended list, he is positioned far down the shortlist, and the rumour has not yet been verified or cross-checked.

Bouaddi has featured prominently for Lille this season, making 16 competitive appearances in the 2025/26 campaign, including 13 starts across all competitions.

Meanwhile, the French-born youngster is still on the radar of English Premier League side Arsenal.
