According to Foot Mercato, the Moroccan football federation is in talks with Bouaddi about confirming his allegiance to the North African country.

The report states that the youngster has given a verbal agreement to represent Morocco after a positive meeting between the federation, Bouaddi, and his family this week.

Speaking on Ligue 1 Plus, he said: “Are we waiting for the squad list (for the international break) now? Morocco or France? There hasn’t been a choice yet, but we will see.”
