The father of Assan Ouedraogo claims that the Premier League is very interested in his son and that Bayern Munich has made a move, but they are not in a hurry to leave Schalke.
This season, the 18-year-old made 17 appearances in the 2.Bundesliga and scored three goals, quickly establishing himself as a starter for Schalke.
The teenager is expected to make a significant move, despite Schalke’s ongoing struggles in the second division. He has been capped for Germany at the Under-16 and Under-17 levels.
Burkina Faso international Alassane, the prospect’s father, says he hasn’t decided where his son will play next. However, Premier League teams, including Bayern Munich, have expressed interest in their kid, and there are rumours that Newcastle and Liverpool are among the other interested parties.
Alassane Ouedraogo told Sky Germany, “Unfortunately, there are a lot of false reports about Assan in circulation.” “The truth is, even though we had a lucrative contract with FC Bayern ready to sign for months, Assan and I never committed to the team.” For us, the concept and viewpoint were more significant than Bayern’s financial options.
We were aware of Bayern’s current circumstances and naturally kept a close eye on them. Bayern has now frank and freely told us that, for a variety of reasons, they cannot afford to acquire Assan this summer.
Assan just turned eighteen. We are appreciative and proud of the strong interest shown in our child. However, we will not act rashly because we have a legitimate contract with Schalke 04 in place.
The following phase is crucial to his growth as a person and as a football player. The notion and confidence of the future coach and those in charge are what matter most, not the money.
We’ll keep collaborating with Schalke 04 to find an excellent resolution that benefits both the team and Assan. I can guarantee you that Assan holds Schalke dear to his heart.
We haven’t committed to any club as of yet. not limited to Bayern. Assan has drawn interest from a number of clubs, particularly those in the Premier League.
In the summer, Assan might be directly signed by English teams to their professional squad. Soon, we’ll pick the best choice.
Despite his inexperience, Premier League clubs would not be wise to take a chance on the prospect because his £12 million release clause would not allow for much growth, according to Sky Sport.
To close the potentially advantageous agreement, a contract must be reached swiftly because the release clause must be invoked by “mid-June.”
