Instead, it’s his current club who are looking to renew his contract, despite the bit-part role he is playing in the team this season. Foot Mercato had indicated earlier this month that Aouar had impressed in training and could well become a part of Peter Bosz’s lineups as the season progresses.

During the transfer window, Aouar had agreed terms with Nottingham Forest but the newly-promoted Premier League side were unable to meet Lyon’s demands, while Fulham had also made their interest known. Nice and Benfica also reportedly showed an interested in the one-time French international. The 24-year-old remains on just the one appearance so far this season.
