The ASSE Still looking for a central defender to fill the departure of Pape Abou Cissé. And among the tracks explored, there is the one leading to Tanguy Kouassi from Bayern Munich. But the case will be complicated to hear the praise of Julian Nagelsmann, the new coach of the Bavarian club, on the young defender.
ASSE: Nagelsmann ready to launch Kouassi at Bayern
Without large financial means to recruit, ASSE wishes to obtain the services of Tanguy Kouassi (19) lacking playing time at Bayern Munich. Claude Puel wants to give the young defender trained at PSG the opportunity to launch his career. The coach of AS Saint-Etienne did it with the promoter of the latter, Adil Aouchiche. Embarrassed by injuries (tendon strain, muscle tear), the Franco-Ivorian played little in his first season under Hansi Flick.
He has a new opportunity in the 2021-2022 season, as the new coach of the Reds is inclined to redistribute the cards. He even made such an announcement, thus destroying ASSE’s hope of recruiting Tanguy Kouassi in the form of a loan. “I have known Tanguy for a long time, I have already seen him at work. He is an incredible talent and player. Due to injuries he has not had the best start at Bayern, but he has all the qualities to become a great player ”, said Julian Nagelsmann. Remember that Julian Nagelsmann is known for his policy of promoting young talented players. He demonstrated this when he was directing Hoffenhein (2016-2019) and most recently at RB Leipzig (2019-2021).
Always looking for playing time
To return to Tanguy Kouassi, he had left Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2020, when the capital club offered him a first professional contract. He had played 13 games with Paris SG, including 6 in Ligue 1. In Munich, he took part in 6 Bundesliga games (113 cumulative minutes of play), without having started once. The native of Paris is under contract until June 2024 and his market value is estimated at € 11m.
