Benevento looking for offensive reinforcements: first contacts for Ruocco from Mantova
Benevento seeks to strengthen its attack after promotion to Serie B, focusing on Francesco Ruocco from Mantova.
Real Madrid are closely monitoring Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, who impressed at the World Cup. His potential transfer fee is estimated to be around €40 million, an amount that could increase as the tournament progresses.

Ayyoub Bouaddi's name is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. The Lille midfielder was one of the brightest youngsters at the World Cup and his performances did not go unnoticed among Europe's elite clubs. In particular, Real Madrid is among the teams that are paying particular attention. The Spanish giants have been following the teenager's progress throughout the tournament, with club representatives recently present to assess him in person during Morocco's 1-0 win over Scotland. As previously reported, Real Madrid have stepped up their monitoring of the young midfielder after a series of strong performances on the biggest stage. The latest scouting mission took place during Morocco's clash with Scotland in Boston, where Bouaddi completed the 90 minutes and was central to his team's hard-fought 1-0 success. The club's scouts focused heavily on his contribution throughout the entire match, continuing a trend that began after his notable performance against Brazil earlier in the tournament. In fact, as reported by Mundo Deportivo, any deal for Bouaddi could currently require an investment of around 40 million euros. It is notable that while this figure is manageable for several top-flight European clubs, it may not remain at that level for long if the midfielder continues to impress during the latter stages of the competition. Despite an active summer that has already brought several high-profile arrivals, it is important to remember that Real Madrid remains alert to opportunities that could further strengthen the squad. One area still being evaluated is the midfield. The club continues to look for players who can improve their build-up play and control of matches from deeper areas, qualities that Bouaddi has consistently displayed throughout the tournament. For now, however, Real Madrid have not made any official moves as they know that his price will increase as the World Cup progresses.
