MADRID — Renowned Italian journalist and football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has dropped a bombshell on the global transfer market. Romano confirmed that Spanish giants Real Madrid are closely monitoring rising star Ayyoub Bouaddi, keeping him firmly on their radar for a future marquee signing.

​According to exclusive updates provided by Romano, the Los Blancos board and scouting department continue to track Bouaddi's rapid development. The young midfielder's name remains highly rated on Real Madrid’s shortlist of future targets, thanks to his exceptional tactical maturity and standout performances at such a young age.

​A Continental Battle: Real Madrid is Not Alone

​While the allure of the iconic white jersey is undeniable, Real Madrid will not have a straightforward path to securing Bouaddi's signature. Romano emphasized that the reigning European kings are far from the only elite club in the running.

​Multiple top-tier European powerhouses are actively scouting Bouaddi, closely analyzing his data and structuring potential formulas to lure him away. This intense interest from Europe's elite underscores the player's immense potential, with many viewing him as a future cornerstone of world football.

​Post-World Cup: The Ultimate Showdown

​As things stand, interested clubs are playing a patient game, waiting for the perfect moment to launch official bids. Romano revealed that the period immediately following the World Cup will serve as the definitive turning point. Serious movements, official contacts, and multi-million dollar offers are fully expected to ignite once the tournament concludes.

​The World Cup represents the ultimate stage for the player to showcase his elite caliber, a factor that will undoubtedly skyrocket his market value and trigger a fierce bidding war between Real Madrid and Europe's chasing pack.
