# Virals: Liverpool target Houssem Aouar reportedly transfer listed

Long-standing [Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/08/18/virals-andy-robertson-makes-early-steps-towards-fitness/) target [Houssem Aouar](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/07/21/virals-liverpool-favourites-to-sign-lyon-star-houssem-aouar/) has reportedly been placed on the transfer list by Lyon following a humbling defeat over the weekend.

The Ligue 1 side have picked up just [one point from their opening two fixtures](https://www.skysports.com/olympique-lyonnais-results) after a 3-0 defeat to Angers and it’s believed sporting director Juninho hopes to address an ‘attitude problem’ at the club.

Aouar has been [linked with a possible switch](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/transfer-news/houssem-aouar-liverpool-transfer-scouting-21070323) to Anfield on numerous occasions down the years and could now be edging towards an exit.

According to a report from [RMC Sport](https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/), as cited by [GFFN](https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2021/houssem-aouar-among-those-on-transfer-list-as-lyons-juninho-deals-with-dressing-room-attitude-issues/) on Twitter, the 23-year-old is among numerous players now made available.

The report claims that all named stars could be sold for a ‘lower price’ than they might’ve previously commanded – perhaps less than the [£25million Lyon wanted](https://metro.co.uk/2021/07/07/lyon-set-low-asking-price-for-arsenal-to-sign-houssem-aouar-14890967/) for Aouar.

Capped on [one occasion](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/houssem-aouar/nationalmannschaft/spieler/395693/verein_id/3377) by France, last season the midfielder [scored seven times and added three assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/houssem-aouar/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/395693) in 30 league outings.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Despite a recent drop in value amidst issues at the club and a desire to move on, Aouar still holds a market value of £37.8million ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/houssem-aouar/marktwertverlauf/spieler/395693)).

Reds’ boss Jurgen Klopp is in need of additional central midfield options – in particular ones with added creativity – following the [departure of Gini Wijnaldum](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/gini-wijnaldum-liverpool-leaving-breaking-20660596) to Paris Saint-Germain.

Aouar boasts a [plethora of attributes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/322096/Show/Houssem-Aouar) that would make the man once hailed as [‘incredible’](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11679/11566594/pep-guardiola-heaps-praise-on-incredible-houssem-aouar) by Pep Guardiola a worthwhile addition to the Anfield squad.
