Following a very complicated season under the jersey of Olympique Lyonnais, Houssem Aouar will probably have desires elsewhere during the next summer transfer window.
A little less than a year ago, Houssem Aouar was already joining the workforce of a major European club. After his nice Final 8 of the Champions League, during which he notably shone against Manchester City, the French international was a bankable midfielder on the transfer market. Except that in the end, Aouar and OL did not receive the offer to meet their expectations. The 22-year-old therefore stayed one more season with his training club. The exercise too much, since Aouar is no longer even titular under the orders of Rudi Garcia … Overtaken in the hierarchy by Thiago Mendes, Paqueta, Caqueret or Guimaraes, the French also had all the misfortune against him, between the Covid and his long injury to the adductors. More decisive since March with Lyon, Aouar is no longer really popular on the market. Despite everything, he will always want to see something else for next season. A desire that Jean-Michel Aulas will not slow down.
“If he wishes to leave, we will try as always to accompany him”
“The departure of Houssem is not a wish of Olympique Lyonnais. We want to keep it. He is lucky to be international. I don’t know if he will have the chance to play the Euro with the France team, but there is also the World Cup in Qatar which will happen very quickly. This is one of the strengths of Olympique Lyonnais, which came from the training center. If he wishes to leave, we will try as always to accompany him, like those who have been trained and developed at the club and who want to leave in the best of circumstances. But if the offers do not correspond to what we want, he will stay in Lyon and we will be very happy ”, threw, in press conference, the president of OL, who knows that Juventus continues to be interested in Aouar for next summer. But not sure that Turin will be able to release 50 ME to buy the last two years of contract of a player far from being at the top …
