Munich – At FC Schalke 04 Assan Ouédraogo took advantage of the (relegation) moment last season and attracted attention in midfield with his ball security and astonishing robustness for an 18-year-old. FC Bayern also kept a close eye on the next gem from the Knappenschmiede. Sports director Christoph Freund in particular is said to come from the U17 world European champion be impressed.
No Bayern transfer: Ouédraogo already wants the next step
As “Sky” and “Bild” first reported, a 180-degree turnaround has recently taken place. According to information from AZ, a transfer is now off the table. On the one hand, the player himself is more inclined to move to Leipzig or Frankfurt because Ouédraogo has had match training there in the Bundesliga, champion or Europa League hoped. FC Bayern is said to have initially loaned the 18-year-old to Royal Blue in the 2nd Bundesliga.
On the other hand, the financial package with costs of up to 15 million euros is currently too big for the Munich team for one talent. The focus is instead on signing an experienced midfielder, a right-back and a second striker to replace the outgoing Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. A candidate does Joshua Zirkzee. However, the Munich team is still a long way from signing the homegrown player, who attracted attention in the Italian Serie A in Bologna with eleven goals, four assists – and as a young stadium announcer. If necessary, a left back should also be added Alfonso Davies but still leaves the club.
Transfers and coaching chaos: FC Bayern is heading for an expensive summer
In addition to the costs of the summer revolutions, FC Bayern also has to pay deeply for the coaching chaos of the past few months. As “Bild” reports, the ex-coach gets it Thomas Tuchel more than ten million euros in severance pay. Another ten to eleven million euros are owed for his successor Vincent Kompany.
