His performance in that game further cemented the belief that he could be a key player for the club moving forward. Bouaddi’s all-around capabilities, reminiscent of Juventus’ current star Adrien Rabiot, have only heightened interest in his potential transfer.
The comparison to Rabiot, a player known for his dynamism in the middle of the park, is not coincidental, as both share similar strengths on the ball and in their defensive contributions.
