In addition to FC Bayern and numerous other clubs from home and abroad, Eintracht Frankfurt is now apparently also trying to sign top talent Assan Ouédraogo from FC Schalke 04.
Those responsible for the SGE asked about Ouédraogo, writes “Sky” reporter Florian Plettenberg on X (formerly Twitter). The Hessians have already been informed about the financial details of a possible transfer.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s sports director Markus Krösche in particular has a high opinion of Ouédraogo, said Plettenberg. The 2022 Europa League winner could imagine giving the 17-year-old offensive player an important place in his squad next season.
Ouédraogo’s management is said to be very busy at the moment. They are also talking to representatives from RB Leipzig, AC Milan, FC Liverpool and SSC Napoli. In addition, a meeting with FC Bayern is coming up soon, as “Sky” recently reported.
Borussia Dortmund therefore has no chance of signing the Schalke player.
FC Schalke 04: Exit clause for Assan Ouédraogo?
It is unclear exactly how much money would be due for an Ouédraogo commitment. According to “Sport Bild”, there is an exit clause in his Schalke contract that depends on several factors.
According to current information, the jewel will be available in the summer of 2024 for just seven million euros.
Against this background, those responsible for S04 should even think about selling it in the winter in order to generate more money.
Ouédraogo currently has a youth contract with FC Schalke 04, which will automatically be converted into his first professional contract on his 18th birthday in May next year. The exit clause will take effect from July 1st.
FC Bayern, Eintracht Frankfurt and Co. are apparently already in the starting blocks to strike.
