However, Lille have managed to fend off the competition and bring the youngster to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy per transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
Beyond Limits and Lille agree Ayodele deal
Ayodele will now join Lille's growing contingent of Nigerian stars, which includes the highly-rated striker Victor Osimhen, as well as two legendary Super Eagles players - Osaze Odemwingie and the iconic Vincent Enyeama.
The talented attacker has been making waves in his homeland, playing a pivotal role in Beyond Limits' stunning success last season.
The Nigerian side emerged victorious in every competition they entered, including earning promotion to the prestigious Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) from the lower-tier NNL.
Ayodele's crowning achievement, however, came when he helped Beyond Limits become the first African team to win the prestigious Viareggio Cup in Italy.
Lille, renowned for their ability to unearth and nurture young African talents, will be hoping that Ayodele can follow in the footsteps of their previous Nigerian stars and make a lasting impact in Europe.
This latest signing is sure to excite the Lille faithful, who will be eagerly anticipating the arrival of their new Nigerian prodigy as they look to mount a serious challenge for silverware in the upcoming season.
