Houssem Aouar has been linked with a summer move to AC Milan over the past few months, as his contract with Lyon is about to expire. However, league rivals Napoli have now also joined the race.
Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are working with a smaller budget than most top clubs and are thus always looking for opportunities on the market. Aouar, the Lyon star, is one of them but the competition isn’t exactly lacking.
According to Calciomercato.com, the likes of Eintracht Frankfurt and Real Betis have made offers to Aouar. Roma have held more than one conversation with the player’s entourage and the same goes for Milan.
However, as things stand, Maldini and Massara seemingly have ‘other priorities’. This has opened up the opportunity for Napoli to join the race, as the Partenopei are looking for an attacking midfielder.
Aouar is in no rush to decide his future and will pick the best project for his career, the report concludes, but it should also be known that the commission and salary demands are significant.
