“Manchester City held initial talks for Ayyoub Bouaddi as potential target for the future. There are 4 clubs involved, PSG not advancing yet having different top priorities. Man City keen on Bouaddi with possible plan to let him stay at Lille until start of season 2027/28.” (Fabrizio Romano)

Bayern Munich have been informed that Ayyoub Bouaddi has rejected the club’s advances despite weeks of talks involving Vincent Kompany, Max Eberl and the player’s representatives, with Bayern prepared to invest up to €60 million (£52 million) in the Lille wonderkid, only for the player to ultimately conclude that neither Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga nor the tactical project presented by Vincent Kompany represented a sufficiently attractive proposition for the next stage of his career. The Moroccan wonderkid’s dream has long been the Premier League and, significantly, I can now exclusively reveal, as the first journalist worldwide, that Bayern Munich have been informed Bouaddi already has a personal agreement in place with an English club, a development communicated directly to Bayern by the player’s representatives, with officials increasingly convinced that the destination is either Liverpool FC, the crown jewel of English football, or Arsenal FC, the North London set-piece dependency project. Bayern were aware for months that both clubs were leading contenders for his signature and still chose to explore whether they could change the player’s mind. However, there is now a strong belief inside the industry that if Liverpool ultimately decide to make a decisive move, Bouaddi would choose Anfield, those mystical red-brick walls and one of football’s most magnetic institutions, over Arsenal, with the player understood to be significantly more captivated by Liverpool’s footballing vision than by a club whose recent rise has become almost inseparable from set-pieces, long throws and dead-ball routines. The expectation inside Bayern Munich is that the situation will accelerate rapidly after the World Cup, potentially even during the tournament itself, and unless there is a dramatic late twist, Liverpool and Arsenal supporters should watch this story closely, as the final chapter may arrive far sooner than many expect.

Because we're going to start the Premier League in one week. If they start to work with us as soon as possible, it's better if they can also understand the way we need to play.” #MCFC in advanced talks with Lille.
