Jose Mourinho urges Real Madrid to target Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille

Jose Mourinho is pushing Real Madrid to pursue Ayyoub Bouaddi of Lille, potentially outmaneuvering Arsenal, who have shown strong interest. Bouaddi has gained attention for his performances with Lille and the Morocco national team, especially ahead of the World Cup. Mourinho sees Bouaddi's talent as too valuable for Real Madrid to overlook, despite a crowded midfield. Arsenal believes it offers a better development path for the player, as consistent playing time may be more accessible in North London. The competition for Bouaddi’s signature is expected to intensify as the transfer window progresses.
