Nottingham Forest summer transfer target Houssem Aouar has reportedly been 'approached' by Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan ahead of a potential move from Lyon.
The Reds apparently agreed terms with the 24-year-old in mid-August, but an agreement was never reached with the French club; therefore, the move failed to materialise. Aouar is out of contract next summer and is again attracting interest ahead of the January transfer window when a potential pre-contract agreement could be signed.
Lyon are said to be planning on offering the playmaker a two-year contract extension, but whether that will be accepted amid the potential for a more lucrative move to the Premier League or elsewhere across Europe. It has been previously reported that there is a worry across the continent that Forest 'could provide competition' again and price other clubs of the market for the player.
