Houssem Aouar is a player Arsenal have looked at in the recent past, but they were not willing to meet the fee demanded by Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas to carry out the transfer.
The midfielder has less than 18 months left on his contract and has not agreed a deal to sign an extension, according to Calciomercato. Therefore, he could ‘pack his suitcase in June’ and move elsewhere.
At the start of this year, the Frenchman changed agents and is now represented by IMC Stellar Sports. This choice could push him ‘towards a new adventure’ next season.
When discussing the options in the Premier League, Mikel Arteta’s side get a mention. It’s said Arsenal interest in the player is ‘well known’, while in Serie A, he is in Juventus and Inter Milan notebooks.
The Italian champions are thinking about Aouar as he can operate across the midfield, but would only consider taking the current Lyon man on favourable economic conditions.
With Arsenal in the mix to make fresh attempt, they could be set to battle with the Nerazzurri for Aouar’s signature in the summer.
