In the last few weeks, AC Milan have been linked with Houssem Aouar, whose contract with Lyon will expire at the end of the season. However, it seems the Rossoneri could bring him in earlier than expected.
According to today’s edition of Gazzetta Dello Sport (via SempreMilan), which you can read in full here, Milan have set their sights on Aouar. They believe he could be a great addition and could make a move already in January.
Lyon have made it known that they want €8m to part ways with their star in January, as opposed to €0 in the summer, but that price tag could decrease further. Milan will be ready to pounce in that scenario, per the newspaper.
In short, the Rossoneri’s interest is indeed concrete and it remains to be seen if they will be able to close a deal. Making an attempt in January would make it significantly easier, as the competition will be fierce for a free transfer in the summer.
