Zidane contacts the French Aouar, according to L'Equipe

The future of Houssem Aouar it could take one last turn before the market closes. According to the information from L'Equipe, Real Madrid would have been involved in the bid for the Lyon midfielder, recently summoned with the French team for the first time and in the middle of a possible transfer to Arsenal that is increasingly complicated.

The possible arrival of Aouar to Real Madrid is the express request of Zinedine Zidane. It is known that the coach of the Whites and the Lyon youth squad appreciate each other and have already been seen publicly together on occasion. Zidane greatly appreciates its quality and they have already exchanged several telephone conversations.

The possible frustrated departure of Aouar to Arsenal leaves the player in an extreme situation. Staying one more season at Lyon would mean not playing in the Champions League and that is why his agent is looking for teams in which he can make a qualitative leap. However, and as L'Equipe highlights, the signing of Aouar by Real Madrid could happen next season and not this one, due to the economic situation of the club after the crisis caused by the expansion of the coronavirus.
