The fact that young talents move from Paris Saint-Germain to the Bundesliga is now part of the usual picture. Currently, with FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund, two top teams in the German football upper house are said to be interested in a PSG youngster.
Joane Kouakou Gadou is said to have taken a liking to FC Bayern and BVB. This is reported by “Le Parisien”. RB Salzburg is also said to have kept an eye on the youngster.
The 16-year-old central defender already measures 1.95 meters and is therefore one of the most conspicuous players of his year.
Good for the supposedly interested parties: According to the report, PSG is said to have not yet started negotiations with Gadou about signing a first professional contract. A circumstance that could well convince the French junior international that his chances of development could be better away from the city of love.
Change to BVB no guarantee for a quick breakthrough
Incidentally, Gadou is anything but an unknown for BVB. In February 2023, Gadou made a guest appearance in the round of 16 of the Youth League with his colors in Dortmund. In the end, the Borussia U19s prevailed on penalties against the youngsters from Paris.
However, the recent past shows that a move from PSG to the black and yellow is no guarantee of success. Soumaïla Coulibaly, who moved from Paris to the Ruhr area in 2021, recently left BVB on loan to Belgium without making much of an impression. Midfielder Abdoulaye Kamara, who also came from Paris in 2021, is still in the Borussia squad but is still awaiting his debut for the pros.
The best-known ex-PSG talent in the ranks of FC Bayern is undoubtedly Kingsley Coman. However, the winger switched to Munich via Juventus Turin.
