Manchester City have gone cold on Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar.

Lyon are listening to offers for the young playmaker ahead of the summer market.

City have been credited with serious interest, but L'Equipe says they've pulled back as they wait on their appeal against a two season Champions League ban for breaking Financial Fair Play laws. City's decision is a blow for Aouar, who had been favouring a move to the English champions.

Juventus are currently in contact with OL about a price for Aouar, who has also been linked with Liverpool recent weeks.

The 21 year-old is tied to OL until 2023.
