Milan are keen on signing Schalke 04 midfielder Assan Ouédraogo, but they will face stiff competition from some of Europe’s best teams.
The 17-year-old German midfielder exploded onto the scene this season after breaking into the Schalke first team, scoring one goal and providing one assist in 591 minutes of action in the 2 Bundesliga.
Milan have been keeping a close eye on Ouédraogo for a while now, putting the teenager on their radar over 18 months ago. In recent days, reports have also detailed how Inter has been scouting midfield talent.

As reported by Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com, Milan considers Ouédraogo to be one of the most exciting talents in European football and wanted to make a move in January, but Schalke made it clear that a sale is unlikely until the summer.
While Inter is interested in Ouédraogo, the 17-year-old is not a priority and is one of many players being scouted by the club.
Milan will face competition from RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool for the teenager, who has a €12 million release clause.
