Bayern was already on it: Bundesliga star still on FCB’s radar! | OneFootball

FC Bayern are apparently continuing to keep an eye on one of Germany’s biggest talents, with a Bundesliga gem once again attracting the attention of numerous top clubs following his injury layoff

Assan Ouedraogo is one of the most exciting young players in German soccer. The 19-year-old midfielder from RB Leipzig has been out since November due to a knee injury, but is now on the verge of making his comeback

According to the latest reports, Ouedraogo is expected to be fully fit again in April or May at the latest. His return is also likely to significantly increase international interest

Top clubs are keeping a close eye on Ouedraogo

According to transfer insider Ekrem Konur, numerous top clubs have continued to keep a close eye on the midfielder’s development during his injury break. Scouts from the Premier League and other top European leagues are keeping a close eye on how Ouedraogo is performing after his rehab, according to Konur

Manchester United and Newcastle are said to be particularly interested, as both clubs are looking for a physically strong midfielder and have previously rated the Leipzig player as a talent with „Bellingham-like potential“

Arsenal and Liverpool also apparently have the youngster on their list, with observers saying that his dynamism, ball progression and physical presence in particular fit in well with the Premier League clubs‘ playing ideas

In addition to several English clubs, FC Bayern are also still being linked with Ouedraogo. The Munich club are said to be keeping a close eye on the situation and are apparently keen to prevent one of Germany’s biggest talents from moving abroad

The record champions have already been interested in the attacking player in the past, but his injury has recently pushed the issue into the background – but this could change again with his imminent return

According to Konur, Real Madrid are also said to be keeping a close eye on the player and have already made contact with his entourage during the winter break. Juventus are also said to be another interested party

Leipzig planning with a high price tag

RB Leipzig would prefer to keep Ouedraogo for at least one more season and are convinced internally that the player will quickly show his enormous potential once he returns

Should concrete talks nevertheless take place, the price is likely to be high, with observers currently assuming that Leipzig could set a transfer fee of between 55 and 65 million euros

With strong performances after his comeback, the 19-year-old’s market value could even rise significantly, in which case Ouedraogo could become one of the hottest names on the European transfer market next summer.
