Performing despite his young age (18 years old), Ayyoub Bouaddi is in PAyyoub BouaddiSG‘s sights for the coming months. Manchester United are also thinking about the Franco-Moroccan.
Paris Saint-Germain lifted the Champions League for the first time in their history with many young players in their squad. One thinks notably of Bradley Barcola, Warren Zaire-Emery, Joao Neves or Desire Doue. Like Real Madrid, for example, the French capital club enjoy recruiting promising elements, before making them explode.
This is what could happen with Ayyoub Bouaddi, the first target for summer 2026 for Luis Campos, the sporting director.
PSG in competition with Premier League
However, according to revelations from Team Talk, competition is arriving for PSG for the midfielder. Indeed, Manchester United have entered the race to sign the Lille player, a starter this season – 9 appearances. Christopher Vivell, a Red Devils director in charge of identifying promising talents, is charmed by the player.

Nevertheless, Manchester United are not yet sure of the path to follow concerning , whilst the English club are following more expensive and more experienced profiles, in the Premier League as elsewhere – one thinks of Frenkie de Jong (Barcelona), Jobe Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund), Carlos Baleba (Brighton) or Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace).
PSG have advantage over Manchester United
According to Transfermarkt, Ayyoub Bouaddi is valued at €30m (£25.6m) on the transfer market. At present, and despite this mark of interest, Paris Saint-Germain should not necessarily worry about Manchester United. Financially and sportingly, the reigning European champions are largely above the Red Devils, without a shadow of a doubt.
It remains to be seen whether the young 18-year-old midfielder will have the same opinion when favouring Manchester United or PSG, should this choice arise in the coming months. For the moment, Ayyoub Bouaddi is under contract until June 2027.
