CM: Lyon star Aouar puts contract offers on hold as he wants Milan ‘dream’

Houssem Aouar has ended up on the radar of AC Milan as his contract with Lyon will expire in the summer. Even though just initial contacts have been held, the midfielder is keen on joining the Rossoneri. 

Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are always looking for opportunities on the market, given that they certainly don’t have the biggest budget among the top clubs. The latest name to be linked with Milan is Aouar, the star midfielder of Lyon.

According to Calciomercato.com, Milan have only held initial contacts with the player’s entourage but Massara is a big admirer. The priorities for now, though, are to redeem Brahim Diaz from Real Madrid and to relaunch Charles De Ketelaere.

If Diaz, as well as Yacine Adli, were to leave then the situation could change. Milan would then be able to shift their attention to Aouar, who has put other contract offers on hold as he wants the Rossoneri ‘dream’.

One of the worries, however, is that he has suffered a couple of minor injuries this season and has thus only played 10 games in the league (one goal and one assist).
