Assan Ouedraogo is the latest name on the AC Milan shortlist for a possible transfer. He is liked by Geoffrey Moncada and Antonio D'Ottavio. The player, as reported by those at Calciomercato.com had observed him for about 18 months and the reports are all excellent.
As per the source, the Rossoneri started a discussion with Assan's entourage a few months ago with the prospect of considering him for the first team within a couple of years and the possibility of discussing together before an intermediate step on loan, which is the situation the boy would prefer because he wants to play a lot to further develop.
A meeting with the directors of Schalke 04 will be scheduled only after obtaining the approval of Assan's family. The competition for the signature of the player is very fierce and AC Milan want to move carefully: there is no need for unnecessary rush.
The biggest threat to Milan comes from Bayern Munich, which, along with Leipzig and Liverpool, has already begun to make attempts to convince Ouedraogo. The Bavarians always have a great appeal to young German talents. Pay attention to the cost of the transfer fee: Schalke 04 may be willing to offer a discount of 7/8 million euros compared to the 20 million euros expected from the buyout clause.
Now, AC Milan are keeping a very close eye on the situation. We'll have to wait for further update in the near future.
