The list of clubs interesting in signing Assan Ouedraogo from Schalke 04 continue to grow and AC Milan are among them, according to a report.
As per Calciomercato.it, Milan have been joined by Napoli in the hunt for the 17-year-old midfielder Ouedraogo, who has already a key player for Schalke during a difficult season given they are currently third from last in the 2. Bundesliga.
In Germany, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig are keen on the teenager and as shown in the past they would have no problem investing a significant amount to sign a young talent that they can develop.
Ouedraogo has a contract with Schalke which runs until 2027 and he is valued between €15-20m. However, in his contract there is a clause of around €10m, which is only valid until June.
He has been playing predominantly as a box-to-box midfielder thus far but is versatile, something which may appeal to Milan who invested in similar profiles in the summer.
If we are thinking ‘post Pioli’ then get him onboard – if not, he’s another one who won’t get picked…
