Aouar becomes Blanc's first signing at Al-Ittihad

Houssem Aouar has joined Al-Ittihad from Roma for a reported €12million fee.

The Algerian penned a four-year deal with the Saudi Pro League club, becoming Laurent Blanc's first signing as head coach.

Aouar signed a five-year contract with Roma in June 2023, making 25 appearances for the Giallorossi and scoring four goals.

However, he struggled for regular action following Jose Mourinho's dismissal in January.

Before that, he impressed for Lyon, with his final season at the club being played under Blanc, who he has now reunited with his former manager.
