Mediaset: Milan study loan swap with Lyon to get Aouar already in January

Yacine Adli could be sent out on loan in January, due to the lack of playing time, and AC Milan could use him to get another player. Houssem Aouar could arrive early instead of in the summer, when his contract expires. 

Aouar has been linked with Milan in the last few days and it seems the Rossoneri are interested. The Lyon star’s contract will expire in the summer and he’s looking for a new adventure, with Serie A a possible destination.

According to Mediaset, as cited by SempreMilan.it, Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are indeed very tempted by the idea of signing Aouar on a free transfer. Currently, they are studying if there is any possibility to bring sign him already in January.

A loan swap has thus emerged along with Lyon, as Adli is likely to be sent out on loan to Ligue 1 anyway. Milan could agree to send the youngster to Lyon in exchange for getting Aouar early, potentially with some money involved.
