"Barça puts its interest in Fekir and Aouar on hold"

Under this title, on February 22, the newspaper Sport published an article stating that, after monitoring their performances in a good number of matches, the sports management of FC Barcelona had concluded that neither the forward Nabil Fekir nor the midfielder Houssem Aouar were ready yet to make the leap to the Catalan team.

Well, over the past few hours we have come across information that points in a different direction. It is signed by the website Goal and it asserts that both the Catalan team and Liverpool are still keeping an eye on the talented player from Olympique de Lyon.

In short, it seems clear that, although his immediate signing is not being considered, the Culés will continue to closely monitor the development of this player who made his debut with the first team of the French squad last season and who has finally managed to establish himself as an important piece in Bruno Genesio's plans throughout this season (he has played 25 matches in the Ligue 1 and scored 4 goals).

Aouar, who recently described himself as a "hardworking midfielder" who doesn't mind playing on the left wing, already rejected the possibility of moving to the Premier League in the past and made it very clear that he is not in a hurry to change clubs. "I still live with my mother. She has given everything for me and I feel very good by her side. She brings me balance. Being able to play important matches with cameras focused on me and then being able to go back home allows me to stay grounded, that is important. I value my family and the city of Lyon a lot, and I am happy to have decided to stay," he stated.
