A Derby della Madonnina on the transfer market could be brewing as Inter Milan and Ac Milan are both tracking Assan Ouedraogo.
The 17-year-old is one of the most promising talents in 2.Bundesliga (Germany’s second division).
Despite his tender age, the midfielder has become a regular starter with Schalke’s senior team.
This season, he contributed with a goal and an assist in 11 league appearances. He’s hoping to help his team climb back to the top flight by the end of the campaign.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInter1908, Milan director Geoffrey Moncada has been on the player’s trail for the last two years.
For his part, Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio started following Ouedraogo shortly afterward.
But as the source explains, the problem for the two Serie A giants is the stern competition from top Bundesliga clubs that are also courting the teenager.
The report names Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig as the midfielder’s most prominent suitors.

Ouedraogo will feature for the German national team in the U17 FIFA World Cup taking place in Indonesia. The tournament kicks off tomorrow.
The Nerazzurri scouts will certainly keep an eye on the player’s displays.
Finally, the source reveals that the starlet’s contract includes a release clause worth 12 million euros.
