Juni Calafat Sends Scouts to France to See the 17-Year-Old Gem Who Drives Him Crazy

Juni Calafat has his eye on this star from France and aims to be Real Madrid's future signing.

The search for talent at Real Madrid is one of the most important topics currently being discussed by the management. This, in addition to strengthening with highly talented players, is the main thing that needs to be done for the team. In this regard, the Merengue scouts seem to have identified a potential signing for the future of the white team.

Juni Calafat, as always, is in charge of monitoring who could be one of the great references of French soccer. We are referring to the young midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, who is currently at Lille. This player, only 17 years old, is poised to be one of the great figures of French soccer in the coming years.

Already at this age, he has been able to play minutes in the UEFA Champions League, even earning awards for his performance. The large number of minutes he has been able to play this season is a testament to what he is capable of doing.

A Very Young Prospect

There is talk about several teams having young prospects, even under 18 years old, but this player stands out among many. At just 17 years old, he has already played more than 1,500 minutes in 19 league matches, in addition to 8 in the ChampionsLeague.

In this, he has even been able to earn the MVP recognition in a match he had in the European Cup. Therefore, the insistence from the Merengue scouts for this star is so strong and constant.

Right now, the player could join the white team for an approximate value of 25 million euros, as this is his market value. However, knowing perfectly what the French club would do, this will likely double.

The Management Has to Think

For a talent of this magnitude, they need to think quickly about whether they want to have a player like this in their ranks. Therefore, it is now or never that they must put all options on the table and see if it is possible to bring him in the summer. A somewhat risky bet, but one that would surely be very good if it turns out well.
