Houssem Aouar would worry the Lyon management because of his religious practices.
Houssem Aouar, the midfielder of Olympique Lyonnais, is experiencing a complicated end to his career within his training club. The French international (1 selection) faces mistrust from its leaders because of its practice of Islam.
Aouar causes paranoia among its leaders
According to information from the author Romain Molina, the Rhone club has very little taste for the fact that Aouar has intensified the practice of his religion lately. They even fear radicalization on his part. “Regarding the paranoia of the club, there is an anecdote that is so telling. Aouar grew a beard, etc. And he went to Mecca. Do you have guys at the club who say to themselves: “Oh la la, wouldn’t he be radicalized there? “. How do you want the players to feel good afterwards”.
ANALYSIS / OL: the big nonsense (and the panic at the end of the transfer window)!https://t.co/Fd3KPipdBY
Agent buddies, total lack of project/planning, total improvisation, a disillusioned locker room, players regretting coming…
How sad for such a club

Fortunately for Aouar, his concerns are not shared by the technical staff. Since the arrival of Laurent Blanc at the controls of the team, he has found a correct playing time. After having chained five tenures under the direction of Cévénol, he is still waiting for his first appearance in the starting lineup in 2023. Since the takeover, he has only played Cup matches.
As a reminder, Aouar will be out of contract next summer. The club may be hoping to sell him this winter, which could explain his use sparingly. Recently, Italian clubs AC Milan and AS Roma have come to the news about him.
