Money Transfers or Fund Transfers - Schalke's Ouedraogo unlikely to transfer to Bayern, according to report.
Schalke's rising star Assan Ouedraogo seems unlikely to join FC Bayern Munich, according to a report from Sky Sports on Sunday. Despite being chased by the Munich club, there have been frequent rumors suggesting an imminent signing of the 18-year-old midfielder.
However, according to Sky's sources, Bayern are now stepping back from the negotiations due to financial reasons. They're trying to save as much money as they can this summer. Ouedraogo remains in their sights, but for now, he's been given some clarity on the situation.
It's not just Bayern who are showing interest in the young talent, as RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt are also potential destinations.
Contract details and exit clause
Ouedraogo's contract with Schalke runs until June 30, 2027, and if he wants to leave this summer, he'd have to trigger his exit clause before mid-June. It's rumored that the amount set could be around €15 million.
During the previous season, the young star spent a lot of time injured and missed out on the U17 World Cup in Indonesia, where the German team emerged victorious.
