Unconfirmed reports suggest that discussions have begun between Man Utd and Lille over the transfer of Ayyoub Bouaddi. The midfielder has emerged as a top target for the squad and talks are reportedly progressing as the two clubs explore whether there is a deal to be done for the player. Talks are underway, and with no competition emerging, Man Utd are seen as the sole contenders for the player's signature. In season 25/26, Man Utd are conceding 1.56 goals per game (14 in 9 games), which points to a lack of control in midfield. Ayyoub Bouaddi would be expected to calm things down and protect the back line better. Reports suggest Man Utd are monitoring Lucas Paqueta, Jeremy Monga and Rafael Leao whereas Lille have not been associated with other players at this stage.
