Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi has been linked with a move to Liverpool, with the Premier League club reported to be monitoring the highly rated teenager.
The 18-year-old central midfielder, who represents Lille’s first team and is valued at €40.00m on Transfermarkt, is the subject of fresh speculation over a switch from Ligue 1 to the Premier League. Liverpool are listed as the potential destination, although the probability of the move is not specified and remains unclear.
Bouaddi’s current contract situation at Lille is not detailed in the available data, raising the possibility that he could become a free agent in future if no new agreement is reached. That uncertainty is likely to fuel interest from clubs such as Liverpool, who have rebuilt their midfield in recent windows and are continuing to scout emerging options.
Born on 2 October 2007 in Senlis, the 1.86m right-footed midfielder has progressed through the Lille system, moving from LOSC Lille Youth to the U17s, then the U19s, before being promoted to the senior side in 2023. He is listed with dual nationality – France and Morocco – and plays primarily as a central midfielder.
Bouaddi’s rise has been matched by a rapid increase in his market value. From €5m in December 2023, his valuation has climbed through €6m, €10m, €25m, €30m and €28m before reaching €40m in December 2025, underlining how quickly his reputation has grown in Ligue 1.
No specific recent match details are provided in the data, but the sustained upward trend in his valuation suggests consistent performances for Lille in France’s top flight.
Should a move to Liverpool materialise, it would mark the first step outside French football for Bouaddi and could prove a defining moment in shaping his career trajectory and international profile.
