Aouar would gladly play for Milan, the club had contact with his entourage and had positive reports from Massara on the table, according to Calciomercato.com. But, there is still hesitatation before making the move, for two reasons.
The first doubt is technical in nature, with the preference being for the retention of Brahim Diaz. However, Real Madrid seems intent on using all options in their favour to have the Spanish-Moroccan attacking midfielder available for the 2023-24 season. The other reason is numerical, in the sense that in order to welcome Aouar, Adli would also have to leave. This is not impossible, given the former Bordeaux player's limited playing time, but for now the Milan leadership has postponed any decision on the matter.
Aouar, who has put Eintracht Frankfurt and Real Betis on hold as he awaits for a sign from Italy, can play both as an attacking midfielder and in the heart of midfield, making him an excellent fit for Pioli's tactics in the coming season, depending on the available squad. But, the uncertainty lies in the fact that, due to injuries and benching for technical reasons, as a result of the non-renewal of his contract, he has only played 460 minutes with one goal and one assist. His last start was against Nice on November 11, 2022, before the stoppage caused by the World Cup in Qatar. Evaluations are also ongoing taking these data into account...
