"The talented 19-year-old has long been regarded as a big prospect, with Fabrizio Romano telling CaughtOffside a few years ago about how big clubs like Liverpool and Bayern Munich were looking at him. Romano described Ouedraogo as a top talent and it's proven accurate as he's gone on to develop well at Leipzig, with big clubs keen on him once again ahead of this summer."
"According to TEAMtalk, Man Utd and Chelsea are both really keen on Ouedraogo, though the Germany international could cost between 80-100m. Ouedraogo has no release clause at Leipzig, so TEAMtalk state that that will put the Bundesliga club in a strong negotiating position."
"At the same time, however, Ouedraogo might not fancy Chelsea right now as their inconsistent form looks like it could cost them a Champions League place. That perhaps looks more likely for United right now, while the teenager would probably also stand a better chance of playing regularly there."
Assan Ouedraogo, a 19-year-old RB Leipzig midfielder and Germany international, has attracted interest from Manchester United and Chelsea ahead of the summer transfer window. Previously tracked by Liverpool and Bayern Munich, Ouedraogo has developed into a top prospect at Leipzig. Both Premier League clubs are reportedly keen on acquiring him, though his transfer will prove expensive at 80-100 million euros due to the absence of a release clause, giving Leipzig strong negotiating leverage. Manchester United may be the more attractive destination given their need for midfield reinforcement following Casemiro's expected departure and Manuel Ugarte's struggles, while Chelsea's inconsistent form and established midfield options could disadvantage their pursuit.
