This will undoubtedly be one of the hot issues of the summer for Lille. At only 18 years old, Ayyoub Bouaddi continues to impress. Which, inevitably, catches the eye of the best teams on the Old Continent.
Guest of After Foot on RMC Monday evening, Olivier Létang took stock of the situation of his young talent. “ Ayyoub Bouaddi has extended his contract until 2029, so he has three years left », First reminded the Lille president, before showing his desire to see him stay one more season in the North.
“ He is 18 years old and is he sure of being a starter in a team playing in the Champions League? Apart from Losc, there aren’t many, he said. So for him, his development and his career… (…) We will talk about it with Ayyoub. To be very honest, that was also the subject of our discussions. We have very, very, very regular exchanges with Ayyoub. The idea for us is to preserve it. »
Létang: “Extraordinary means a lot of money”
Therefore, only an astronomical offer could change the mind of the boss of the Mastiffs. And when asked if an amount of 50 million euros could convince him to let go of his nugget, Olivier Létang replied: “ No, that’s not enough. »
“If something happens with an extraordinary amount, words are overused so extraordinary means a lot of money, he clarified. When I say extraordinary I mean something extraordinary. Here we are far from the amount that would allow us to let Ayyoub go. » The young Moroccan’s suitors have been warned.
