Juventus to rival Liverpool for Houssem Aouar?

Juventus are reportedly keen to bring Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar to Turin this summer.

The 22-year-old was strongly linked with a move to Arsenal last year, but the Gunners were unable to come to an agreement with his French side over a fee.

Aouar has again been in strong form at club level during the 2020-21 campaign, scoring six times and contributing four assists in 26 appearances in all competitions.

Liverpool have recently been linked with a move for the Frenchman, with the Reds said to have identified him as a possible replacement for Georginio Wijnaldum.

However, according to Tuttosport, Juve, who are expected to be active in the upcoming market, are also firmly in the mix for the midfielder.

The report claims that Andrea Pirlo's side are prepared to pay in the region of €40m (£34m) to bring him to the club ahead of the 2021-22 season.

Aouar is also believed to be interesting French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
