Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada, while keeping an eye on the pitch, are also focused on the upcoming January window. One of the players on AC Milan’s wish list is Assan Ouédraogo, a report claims.
Milan are always looking for opportunities on the market and while they have other things to worry about, it’s wise to let Moncada do his scouting. According to SOS Fanta, Schalke 04’s Assan Ouédraogo has ended up on their radar and contacts have already taken place.
The central midfielder has a release clause of €11m and Milan could trigger it in January, per the report. At the age of 17, the Rossoneri believe that he could become a very good player, having already shown his qualities in the German second tier.
Contacts are ongoing between Milan and Ouédraogo’s entourage, seeing as the likes of Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayern Munich and Leipzig also are very interested in the player. The Rossoneri are optimistic, though, and could make a move in January.
The feeling is that the defence remains the priority, given the injuries of Marco Pellegrino and especially Pierre Kalulu. Simon Kjaer has struggled to stay fit this season as well, which has made life difficult for Stefano Pioli recently.
