Assan Ouedraogo: The Rising Star with Premier League Interest
Assan Ouedraogo, the 18-year-old midfielder from Schalke, has been making waves in the football world with his impressive performances in the 2.Bundesliga. Despite Schalke’s struggles in the second tier, Ouedraogo has caught the eye of top clubs, including Bayern Munich and Premier League giants like Liverpool and Newcastle.
The young prospect’s father, Alassane Ouedraogo, revealed that there is significant interest in his son from various clubs, but they are in no rush to make a decision. While Bayern Munich had a contract ready for Ouedraogo, they have now informed the family that they will not pursue a transfer this summer. This leaves the door open for other clubs to make a move for the talented midfielder.
Ouedraogo’s father emphasized that the next step in his son’s career is crucial for his development, with the idea and trust of the future coach playing a significant role in their decision-making process. Despite the financial aspects, the primary focus is on finding the right fit for Ouedraogo’s growth as a player.
One key factor that could attract Premier League clubs is Ouedraogo’s release clause, set at just £12m. This relatively low fee makes him an enticing prospect for top-flight teams looking to bolster their squads with young talent. However, with the deadline to activate the release clause approaching, any potential deal would need to be finalized swiftly.
As Ouedraogo navigates the interest from various clubs, including those from the Premier League, fans eagerly await his next move. With his heart set on Schalke, it remains to be seen where the promising midfielder will end up. Stay tuned for more updates on this rising star in the world of football.
