Man Utd are still in contention to buy Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, according to reports.
TEAMtalk claim that the Red Devils are still “firmly” in the equation to snap up the teenager following a decision by rivals Manchester City.
Enzo Maresca’s side were deemed favourites to secure Bouaddi’s services, having signalled to Lille that they were willing to loan him back to the Ligue One side.
However, it is believed that Director of Football Hugo Viana has now made it clear that City want the player now, which has blown the race for his signature wide open once again.
5 Premier League clubs want Bouaddi
The 18-year-old is certainly not short of suitors. In addition to United and City, the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea have also signalled their interest in the player.
Out of the five, TEAMtalk report that Chelsea are the ones who would be most willing to loan Bouaddi back to Lille, which would be his club’s preferred choice.
Yet, the Blues are the only ones without Champions League football, and their prospects of winning the Premier League title in the immediate future look slim.
Man Utd would have to pay a sizeable sum
For a deal to happen this summer, Lille are said to be holding out for a fee in the region of €100m (£85m). Considering that the deals for Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans were relatively cheap compared to other targets, there is likely to be still room in United’s transfer budget for a significant investment.
Of course, while money may not be an issue, getting the player on board is still a major challenge. Despite City’s change in stance, top sources still regard them as the leading candidates to sign Bouaddi. It remains to be seen if United can change that.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
