Juventus joins the competition to recruit Houssem Aouar

DBasia.news – Juventus is reportedly in the hunt for Olympique Lyon midfielder, Houssem Aouar. Previously, the 22 year old player had become the target of Premier League giants, Arsenal.

Arsenal has made Houssem Aouar one of the transfer targets last summer. The Gunners are entering a serious stage of obtaining the midfielder.

However, negotiating with Lyon was not easy. Moreover, the club from Ligue 1 does not want to lower Houssem Aouar’s price. The French player is valued at 50 million euros.

Arsenal are rumored to be back hunting Houssem Aouar next summer. The Gunners hope that financial conditions will improve at that time. Currently, the position has been filled by Martin Odegaard, who was just brought in from Real Madrid.

However, Arsenal’s plan was subject to interference from Juventus. Transfer market expert, Gianluca Di Marzio, reported that Juve were also attracted to Aouar.

Juventus were impressed by Aouar’s ability to split the ball. Although small in stature, it does not reduce the player’s mobility.

The road opened up after the Bianconeri brought in Marley Ake from Marseille. Ake has the same agent as Aouar. Juve also discussed Aouar when he held a meeting with the agent.

Meanwhile, Houssem Aouar continues to establish himself as one of the best young midfielders in Ligue 1. From 16 games, he has three goals and three assists.
