Lille's president insists on keeping Moroccan player Bouadid.

Olivier Létang, the president of the French club Lille, expressed his insistence on keeping the young Moroccan international Ayoub Bouaddi within the team for the upcoming season, despite the significant interest he is receiving from several top European clubs, such as Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City.

Létang said in media statements: “Any player could leave tomorrow, but the club will continue to progress.. As for Ayoub, I have received calls from several clubs during this period, after the Brazil match in the World Cup, and I informed them that we will not discuss this matter at the moment.”

He added: “Lille will participate in the Champions League, and I met with Ayoub after the World Cup, and all possibilities are still open, but my personal opinion is that he should stay with us for another season..”

The president of Lille continued his remarks by saying: “I am convinced that he will stay, and I believe he will be very happy to play another season in Lille's jersey.”

Bouaddi, who is 18 years old, is considered one of the most promising talents in European football, having caught the attention with his performances for Lille and the Moroccan national team, which has made him a target for major European clubs during the current summer transfer window.
