Although he has yet to play professionally for FC Schalke 04, Assan Ouédraogo is already attracting the attention of industry giants. As the ‘Sport Bild’ reports, asked “almost all top clubs” in recent months at the 16-year-old midfielder. He canceled all of them. Ouédraogo is currently still active in the Royal Blues U19s and has earned a reputation as a top talent there. Seven goals and two assists in eleven appearances are evidence of his class.
According to ‘Sport Bild’, the 16-year-old will be promoted to the pros in the summer. Then a farewell could soon become an issue. According to the report, Ouédraogo has had several exit clauses written into his promotion contract, which can be converted into a professional contract with an option until 2027. The amount depends on Ouédrogo’s status at the time of activation and on the quality of the buying club. Example: Should a Champions League club bid for the native of Mülheim when he is already a national player, Schalke will be offered the highest possible sum.
