Bayern close in on Liverpool target

Bayern Munich are reportedly now at an advanced stage in their pursuit of the transfer of Schalke wonderkid Assan Ouedraogo, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano on X.

Posting from his official X account, Romano explained that Ouedraogo now looked closer to sealing a move to Bayern, with the likely outcome also being that he would remain with Schalke until 2025 before finally linking up with Bayern at the Allianz Arena.

See the post below for details as Romano says Bayern are now the clear favourites to sign the talented 18-year-old, whose form has also previously attracted admiration from Liverpool and AC Milan, as Romano told us last year when he spoke to CaughtOffside for his Daily Briefing column.
