According to reports from Italy, Roma have received an offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad for their midfielder Houssem Aouar. This potential transfer could mark the end of Aouar’s tenure with the Giallorossi after just one season.
Aouar joined Roma last summer from Lyon, where he had spent his entire career, rising through the youth ranks to become a key player for the French club. Since his arrival in Rome, Aouar has made 25 appearances and contributed 4 goals across all competitions.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Al-Ittihad, one of the prominent clubs in the Saudi Pro League, has expressed strong interest in acquiring Aouar. The Saudi club’s offer comes at a time when Roma is evaluating their squad and potential transfers to strengthen their team for the upcoming season.
Aouar is currently considering the offer from Al-Ittihad. The move to Saudi Arabia would represent a significant change for the 25-year-old midfielder, both in terms of the level of competition and lifestyle. His decision will likely weigh the benefits of a lucrative contract against the competitive environment of European football.
Should Aouar decide to accept the offer, Roma would need to find a suitable replacement to fill the void in their midfield. The club has been active in the transfer market, recently securing Enzo Le Fée from Rennes, which could mitigate the impact of Aouar’s potential departure.
