Spanish champions Barcelona are the latest club to have been credited with an interest in LOSC Lille sensation Ayyoub Bouaddi.
This of course comes amid something of a breakout summer for the midfielder to date.
Youngster Bouaddi has long been busy making a name for himself in France, considered one of the very best up-and-coming talents in Ligue 1 owing to his performances on the books of the aforementioned Lille.
It is his form on the international stage at this summer’s World Cup, though, which has seen Bouaddi’s name increasingly linked with some of Europe’s leading clubs.
Real Madrid, for one, have been heavily linked with a move for the Moroccan over recent weeks, amid an ongoing search for reinforcements in the middle of the park.
And as alluded to above, this weekend, Los Blancos’ arch rivals have also been tipped as a potential landing spot.
The info comes courtesy of Diario AS, who have confirmed that Barcelona have joined the likes of Real, Manchester City and Arsenal in the hunt for Bouaddi.
Developments on the 18-year-old’s future are expected following the conclusion of Morocco’s World Cup campaign.
