AC Milan managers continue to scour the market for important quality additions to present for their head coach Stefano Pioli in view of next summer transfer window. The club would try to go after important talents with reasonable pricetags and if an opportunity presents itself for a free agent, then they would make an attempt.
In this sense, Houssem Aouar is being followed by the club directors Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara.
As per Relevo, Houssem Aouar's future remains uncertain, but one thing is clear - it won't be with his boyhood club Lyon, as the midfielder does not want renew his expiring contract. Aouar's dream is to go to a club that plays in the Champions League, the top European competition he's featured in for two seasons.
The 24-year-old hasn't committed to any pre-contract agreement yet, and various clubs are vying for his signature. AC Milan are at the forefront of the race, having been in talks with Aouar's entourage for months and one of the first teams to pursue him alongside Betis. The Frenchman has even had conversations with some of his fellow countrymen in the Milan squad about the Rossoneri and the city.
While the possible signing of Houssem Aouar would bolster AC Milan's midfield, they will face stiff competition from La Liga outfit Betis, who have already presented an offer to the player's brother, who manages his interests. Aouar speaks highly of Betis and talks about the club with his friend and former Lyon teammate Nabil Fekir. However, no decision has been made yet, and the Andalusian club has been waiting since last summer for a positive response from the 24-year-old.
As the Frenchman takes his time to weigh his options, it's worth noting that the Premier League and Lazio, who may lose Luis Alberto at the end of the season, have also shown interest. The future destination of the talented midfielder remains to be seen. This season, he only featured in 10 appearances so far, contributing with one goal and one assist.
