AC Milan were first linked with Assan Ouédraogo some time ago, but he is still a transfer target for them ahead of the summer window.
According to Calciomercato.com, Milan will have competition to sign Ouédraogo since he is also wanted by rivals Napoli, who are trying to strengthen their midfield ahead of 2024-25.
Following a career in the club’s development squads, the 17-year-old talent has emerged clearly in this 2. Bundesliga season with Schalke 04. Given the €12 million release clause in his contract, many clubs from across Europe have approached him in recent weeks.
In Italy, Milan has been working the hardest to recruit Ouédraogo, since he has been regarded as the ideal profile to reinforce a department in need of fresh members.
Geoffrey Moncada and Antonio D’Ottavio have been following Ouédraogo for two years, and he is their target of passion. Contacts with his agents have gone well, and there are ‘good chances of closing a very interesting deal in the future’.
Milan are preparing what they believe will be a decisive assault to get Ouédraogo shortly, but will have to overcome heavy competition: in addition to Napoli, Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt are interested in landing the adolescent.
