Aouar, 22, has one of Europe’s most wanted clients after an impressive crusade last season to help his team succeed in the Champions League semi-finals.
The young Frenchman played 41 times for Lyon in all competitions last season and was directly affected by 19 goals.
However, after such an impressive progress campaign, especially on the European stage, Lyon will now live without the 22-year-old.
CaughtOffside recently received data from a source close to the club that Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City is the pioneer in taking over the talented Frenchman after making an initial bid of 35 million pounds for the midfielder.
Last season’s Premier League finalists saw their bid for 35 million pounds temporarily rejected through Lyon, but the Ligue 1 team expects Manchester City to return with an advance offer.
Our source showed us that Lyon was hoping to offer at least 62 million pounds, but that he would most likely allow Aouar to leave if between forty-five and 55 million pounds were offered.
We also say that The Manchester City of Guardiola faces a tough festival for the highly qualified midfielder of the French giant Paris Saint Germain.
We, along with Manchester City, the Champions League finalist, PSG, are also negotiating Aouar’s signing with his national rival, Lyon.
Aouar’s great interest in two of Europe’s monetary powers can lead to a bidding war, as our source showed that talks between the three clubs have reached a complex stage.
