Milan likes Aouar and is about to expire: he can be the right reinforcement in midfield

Milan would have set their sights on another French footballer, not a novelty if we look at the trend in recent years. The latest suspect is called Hassem AuarLyon midfielder born in ’98 who expires next summer and who has not given great reassurances on his desire to continue with OL.

Deadline and Known Agents

As reported by the Gazzetta dello Sport this morning one of the reasons why the Rossoneri management would have set their sights on the French midfielder would be precisely the expiry of his contract with Lyon next June which could lead to discussions also for this January. In any case, it could be an opportunity for the Rossoneri club: in January the figures would be contained, in June the player would arrive on a free transfer. Plus the Aouar’s agents have met often in recent weeks at Casa MilanIn fact, they are the ones who oversaw the renewal of Pierre Kalulu and they are the ones who brought Sergino Dest to Milanello with a last minute deal last August. Aouar has been playing at Lyon since he was 11 and may want to decide to throw himself into a new experience for the first time. Furthermore, the presence of French and French speakers in the Rossoneri is really massive, another element that must always be taken into consideration.

Mix of Tonali and Bennacer

Hassem Aouar would be the ideal profile to reinforce a midfield orphan of Franck Kessie and who this season, behind Sandro Tonali and Ismael Bennacer, has had little to offer. Tommaso Pobega is the most accredited backup but has very specific characteristics, despite the fact that he has done well in recent months. Vranckx has yet to grow as well as Adli acclimate. Rade Krunic is an always very useful joker who is however mostly used on the trocar. Aouar has some features that make it a bit of a mix of Tonali and Bennacer so it could easily get into rotations with the two starting midfielders of the current AC Milan. It would certainly be an important addition given the good experience, especially in the European field, that Aouar has already gained in Lyon.
