Press reports have indicated that the rising talent at the French club Lille, Ayoub Bouaddi, is leaning towards deciding to represent the Moroccan national team instead of the French national team, in a move considered a significant blow to French football in terms of young talents.

According to the same sources, Bouadi informed those close to him of his desire to reject the offer to represent the French national team, preferring to defend the colors of the Moroccan national team, given the sports project that the "Atlas Lions" offer to dual-nationality players.

The player is expected to officially announce his decision after the Lille match against Monaco, where his final international destination will be revealed in the coming days, amid significant media interest in the matter.

Journalist Nasreddine Nasri reported on "Canal Plus Sport Africa" that the announcement is very close, with strong indications that Bouaddi will join the Moroccan national team project.
