Schalke 04 Faces Struggle to Retain Top Talent Assan Ouédraogo

Schalke 04 can’t keep top talent Assan Ouédraogo (17) for long, mainly due to the midfield all-rounder’s favorable release clause. Clubs from the Bundesliga can strike in the summer for just seven million euros – the favorite is RB Leipzig, but FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund are also showing interest.

According to ‘Sport Bild’, the favorable passage goes back to a compromise from the previous year: In November, Schalke announced the extension of Ouédraogo’s contract. During the course of the negotiations, he agreed to a comparatively very low annual salary of less than 300,000 euros.

Nevertheless, Schalke now threatens to undervalue the German U17 European champions. ‘Sport Bild’ reports that the second division club would like to complete the sale in the winter – possibly including a loan back for six months – in order to avoid the low exit clause.

The favored RB Leipzig is said to have no interest in this. Transfer negotiations are not an option for the Saxons: the Bundesliga club is pursuing “the clear plan”to get Ouédraogo in the summer by clause.
