Houssem Aouar (Lyon)
Target for: Arsenal, Juventus
The 22-year-old midfielder had long been suggested for a major move before he even exceled in the semi-finals of the Lyon Champions League in August, that is, in his quarter-final victory over Manchester City, which is one of his contenders.
Now Aouar, who has not yet been crowned at a full foreign point across France, obviously feels it’s time to borrow the nest and leave his club for years of training, that he is not at all worried in Europe this season and that he got off to a bad start. ligue 1. .
His absence from the continental festival increases the desire to sell Lyon, but the chances of getting the 60 million euros they would like for the midfielder seem non-existent.
Arsenal are now the main candidate to point out Aouar, however, according to French sports newspaper L’Equipe, they have not presented more than 38 million euros and Lyon may be tempted to remain their player for another year.
Last weekend, Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas said Arsenal were “too far away” from Aouar’s courage. Aulas also said that no player would leave if no deal is reached until Friday, but that the imminent signing of Lucas Paqueta from AC Milan could ease the way to Aouar, who has also been very connected to Juventus.
Sergino Dest (Ajax)
Destination: Barcelona
The 19-year-old may be the newest on a long list of players to leave Ajax and sign for Barcelona in search of a new right-back after promotion to Nelson Semedo to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
According to widespread reports, Dest is expected to move to Camp Nou with Barcelona in a position to pay the first 20 million euros to beat Bayern Munich on his signing.
Dest would be the first signing in Barca’s primary since Ronald Koeman’s arrival as a dutch-born coach, but represents the United States, for which he qualifies through his father.

Memphis Depay (Lyon)
Destination: Barcelona
Depay has never hidden his preference to sign for one of the European giants after a failed season at Manchester United in his previous career, and the Dutchman will also be interested in playing the Champions League, something Lyon cannot. I won’t be offering you this season.
Koeman would be willing to take his compatriot to Camp Nou on an attack lost by Luis Suarez.
Barcelona may lack the budget to spend much, but 26-year-old Depay is in the last year of his contract and reports in France recommend that Lyon may also be persuaded to reduce its requested starting value by 25 million euros.

Michael Cuisance (Bayern Munich)
Objective for: Leeds United
France’s under-20 national possibly expected to play a more consistent role at Bayern Munich this season, a year after signing for Borussia Moenchengladbach for 12 million euros.
But having given the impression only 10 times in Bayern’s tripled crusade and making a replacement appearance so far this season, Cuisance is now close to joining Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United.
L’Equipe previously reported earlier this week that an agreement for a Bayern player worth 20 million euros is about to come.
Alex Telles (Port)
Goal for: Manchester United
Brazilian left-back Telles joined Porto in 2016 after spent periods at Galatasaray and Inter Milan and has long been connected with Portugal’s move to one of Europe’s clubs.
It seems that this may be the time for the 27-year-old, who has a goal for Manchester United.
According to A Bola in Portugal, United has delivered EUR 15 million for a player who is out of contract at the end of the season, while Porto need 20 million euros.
However, they can simply move elsewhere. The former defenseman was linked to Paris Saint-Germain several months ago, and the French club now wants to be left-back after leaving Juan Bernat for a serious knee injury.
