At the end of the contract, Houssem Aouar officially leaves Olympique Lyonnais.

Expected in the coming hours on the side of Roma, with whom he will commit until June 2028, the new Algerian international is no longer an OL player. On its official Twitter account, the Rhone club confirmed the departure of its player, who had worn the colors of Lyon since the age of 11. After 233 games in the colors of Lyon, Houssem Aouar will discover a new championship by committing to Roma, sixth in Serie A and finalist in the Europa League this season.

A child from the club, arrived at the#OLAcademy at the age of 11 in 2009, is going to take up new challenges, after 233 matches in Rouge & Bleu! 🦁🔴🔵
