Liverpool prepared to pay £60m for Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi

Liverpool is reportedly interested in signing Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, with a transfer fee potentially reaching £60 million. Bouaddi, an 18-year-old standout, has drawn attention following impressive performances, particularly during the World Cup. Both Liverpool and Arsenal have held meetings with Bouaddi’s representatives, which could drive up his asking price. Liverpool has previously shown a willingness to invest heavily in young talent, but their decision will depend on whether they are willing to meet Lille's valuation. The situation remains active as Bouaddi prepares for the remainder of the World Cup.
