Mercato: Aouar is (still) looking for a taker … – Football

Less influential in recent months, Houssem Aouar will not be selected by Olympique Lyonnais. Despite contenders for the French midfielder, the Rhone club has received no offer.

Despite his young age (23), Houssem Aouar is already considered to be a former member of Olympique Lyonnais. Quickly became an executive of the Rhone club, especially during the Final 8 of the Champions League in 2019-2020, the midfielder has lost little of his influence within his training team, where Lucas Paqueta or Bruno Guimaraes take little little relay. The moment for the French international to take off towards a more upscale curia? Probably.

Suitors, but no offer

Problem, Jean-Michel Aulas has still not received an offer for his talent. And yet, there is no shortage of suitors. According to the English press, many Premier League formations are closely following his situation. This is particularly the case of Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and even Tottenham, with whom a possible exchange involving Tanguy Ndombele has been mentioned in recent hours.

An impressive list of interested clubs, to be sure, but so far none of them have taken action. Since Arsenal’s offensive last summer, which offered 35 million euros to secure his services, the Lyon president’s phone has not rung. An anomaly which can be explained by the contractual situation of the player, whose contract expires in two years and which is clearly not against a departure.

A largely lowered price

Also, the possibility of giving away at a discount the Lyon metropolitan area seems more and more likely. After having dropped Nabil Fekir for a little less than 20 million euros at Betis, in 2019, when Liverpool offered the triple, a year earlier, it would not be surprising to see Aouar leave for an equivalent sum. At the last news, JMA would sell for 20 25 million euros. We are far from the 50 million euros expected just a year ago …
