Nimetigna Sacko is attracting interest from a German club: What are the details?

A three-way tug-of-war is brewing in the German Bundesliga for the signature of a rising star. According to exclusive information from Africafoot, 18-year-old Franco-Malian striker Nimetigna Sacko has captured the serious attention of Bayer Leverkusen.

The talented forward, currently showcasing his goal-scoring prowess with AJ Auxerre's U19 National team, has now become a prime target for the German club's recruitment efforts. However, Leverkusen is not alone in this pursuit. They face stiff competition from domestic rivals Eintracht Frankfurt and VfB Stuttgart, setting the stage for a fierce three-club battle to secure the young prospect.

Scouts have noted that Sacko's profile bears a striking resemblance to that of Borussia Dortmund's Guinean international, Sehrou Guirassy, a comparison that has only intensified the interest in him. His journey in Burgundy, which began with the U17 Nationals where he netted 7 goals in 21 matches during the 2023/24 season, demonstrates a clear and promising trajectory.

This ascent seems poised to take him beyond Auxerre. While German clubs are leading the charge, his talent has also resonated south, with Italian side Parma AC also reported to be very interested in his unique and developing profile.
