AC Milan and Bayern Munich rival Liverpool in the race for Assan Ouedraogo
Liverpool fans have witnessed the club’s knack for spotting and nurturing young talents who go on to become absolute superstars. Assan Ouedraogo is garnering a lot of attention from top European clubs and Liverpool have expressed a keen interest in securing his services.
However, the road to bring this promising youngster to Anfield is fraught with competition, primarily from AC Milan and Bayern Munich. Ouedraogo, born in 2006, has already made a name for himself in the football world, showcasing remarkable consistency in Schalke 04.
With nine appearances and one goal in the current German second division, Ouedraogo‘s talent is undeniable, despite his young age.
However, the Reds face stiff competition from the likes of AC Milan, RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich. That is via Calciomercatoweb. One of the standout attributes that has garnered Ouedraogo significant attention is his extraordinary personality. His strong physique combined with good technique makes him a dynamic presence on the field. He is not only capable of short, precise passes but also possesses the ability to make long passes with accuracy.
Ouedraogo to the Reds?
Ouedraogo’s agility and speed make him a versatile player, capable of navigating through the midfield with ease. While the player’s game vision is already commendable, there is room for improvement, which only adds to his potential.
One of the key factors that could influence the final destination for Ouedraogo is the price tag. Schalke 04 holds the key to this negotiation, with the ability to open the door for a possible discount. While Ouedraogo’s release clause is reportedly set at €20m, Schalke could be willing to entertain offers at a significantly lower price, possibly around €7m-€8m.
His current deal with Schalke lasts until 2027 (Transfermarkt) which means that any power in negotiations shall lie with the German club.
