In the chaotic world of the transfer market, things don’t always work out the first time. For example, Juventus had been chasing Arkadiusz Milik and Leandro Paredes for several years, but the two landed in Turin last month.
So could we witness a similar scenario with Houssem Aouar?
The Frenchman has been on the Old Lady’s radar ever since he made his breakthrough in Lyon. The Italians were not the only ones, as even Pep Guardiola’s Man City were closely following the player.
But while the 24-year-old remains in Ligue 1, his time with his original club could come to an end once his contract expires in June, although OL are still hoping to put their signature on a new deal.
According to Spanish media reports (via Calciomercato), Juventus are continuing their attempts to lure Aouar to Turin.
The source adds that the Bianconeri had even tried their luck with the midfielder during last summer’s transfer session.
Juve FC says
The Lyon star is a quality player, with excellent feet and an exquisite touch. So he would surely add some quality to the middle of the park and even allow Max Allegri to switch formations.
Aouar has the ability to present himself as an attacking midfielder behind the forwards, or as Mezzala in a three-man midfield.
However, next summer is still a long way off, so in the meantime, Allegri must find solutions from within.
