Paris Saint-Germain has been an unstoppable force in Europe for the past couple of seasons, as they made history last week, winning their sixth trophy in a calendar year after their victory against Flamengo in the International Cup final in Qatar.  

The team seems to have the perfect blend of experience and youth. Veterans like Ousmane Dembele, Marquinhos, and Achraf Hakimi play alongside youngsters such as Desire Doue, Bradley Barcola, and Warren Zaïre-Emery. This mix has been their mantra for success in recent years.

Although there have been moments this season when Luis Enrique's side has failed to find solutions in difficult times, such as their Champions League encounters against Bayern Munich and Athletic Club, due to the absence of their star performers.

PSG would look to add squad depth before the UCL knockout stages begin. As we approach the winter transfer window, it is unlikely that Enrique will make any panic buys mid-season. The Parisians have been linked with quite a few transfers lately.

The most interesting of them is 18-year-old Ayyoub Bouaddi, who is being rated as one of the best upcoming midfielders in European football currently, as he started 13 out of 14 Ligue 1 games for Lille, who are currently placed 4th in the league.

Ayyoub Bouaddi recently signed a contract extension with Lille earlier this month until 2029, largely due to interest from the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and other European giants, who are making the 'strongest push' to secure his services and keep him in Ligue 1..

Bouaddi's large frame and ability to make decisive forward passes alongside his defensive abilities have made him a prime target for clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Bayern, who are all ready to splash big money for the midfielder, as Lille has reportedly valued him at €60 million.  

According to TEAMTALK, PSG is playing the French card in their attempts to lure the young talent to stay and grow in France while being close to his family and sign him up during the upcoming transfer windows.   

The board is closely monitoring Bouaddi's future. The player fits PSG's transfer policy: signing highly rated French youngsters to secure the club's future and continue dominating world football.
