Real Madrid are reportedly contemplating a late bid for Lyon playmaker Houssem Aouar, who has been heavily linked with a switch to Arsenal.

Real Madrid are reportedly exploring the possibility of reaching an agreement for Lyon playmaker Houssem Aouar.

While the French outfit have previously insisted that no sales would take place after Friday, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain continue to be linked with the 22-year-old.

The Gunners are attempting to complete a permanent transfer this summer, with PSG said to prefer a loan agreement with a mandatory option to buy.

However, L'Equipe claims that Real boss Zinedine Zidane wants to win the race for Aouar, signalling his intent by making contact with Lyon.

Los Blancos have been successful in getting several big-earners off their wage bill, something which may put them in a position to bring in Aouar.

Lyon allegedly value their star man in the region of £54m.
