It is no news that Real Madrid and Barcelona will always look for young talents and good deals in the transfer market. However, from time to time it's coming to see very hard arm wrestling between both clubs. This will be the case with a 22-year-old wonderkid from France that could move to Spain in any moment if an agreement is reached.

If you read a 22-year-old French player and think about Kylian Mbappé, then you are unfortunately wrong. It is not the Paris Saint-Germain star the one that Spanish Giants are looking for. Nope, it's not Neymar either.

In the amazing performance of Olympique Lyon in the last UEFA Champions League, there was a stellar knew face that caught everybody's attention. It is Algerian-descent Houssem Aouar. As per Transfermarkt he is valued in €50 million ($60.5 million). His contract with the club expires in June 2023, so it’s likely he’s sold before an extension can be negotiated.

Aouar has appeared in 16 out of 20 possible matches in the French Ligue 1, scoring three goals and assisting three more. he made his debut for the senior national team in a 7-1 win against Ukraine in a friendly match.
