Liverpool executives were at New York’s MetLife Stadium specifically to watch Bouaddi play in his country’s World Cup opening game against Brazil on Saturday.
The Anfield club have added the 18-year-old to their summer wishlist but will face fierce competition for his services.
Asides Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea are also closely following the progress of the teenage sensation.
Bouaddi was one of the best players on the pitch last night in the 1-1 draw between Morocco and Brazil.
The Lille star completed 60 passes and had 86 touches, the most of any player from his side.
He also completed three successful dribbles, showing confidence anytime he was in possession.
A Premier League move could be on the cards, and joining Arsenal could be more appealing to him after they won the title last month.
Lille are in no rush to sell Bouaddi and have valued him at about £60 million.
Liverpool and Spurs could be willing to meet their demands, but his value could skyrocket before the end of the tournament, while more suitors are likely to emerge.
