PSG can “not understand” departure from Kouassi to Bayern – “Had a great future”

Understanding of aouchiche

FC Paris Saint-Germain once again loses two promising talents in the summer. Both Adil Aouchiche (17) and Tanguy Kouassi (18) refused a professional contract with the French and are looking for their luck at a new club. At a press conference on Friday, trainer Thomas Tuchel showed little understanding of Kouassi’s decision for the upcoming move to Bayern and against a future at PSG (quoted via “RMC”).

“It’s no secret that I really like Tanguy. He played in the most important game against Dortmund at the age of 17 without a professional contract. He had a great future with this club. He knows that it wasn’t time to leave the club, ”said Tuchel. “We put our trust in him and gave him minutes. He was a key player. I can not understand. I am sad about it. But that’s the way it is. “

Although Tuchel did not confirm the change to the German record champions, a transfer to Bayern is now considered safe. Nicolas Holveck, President of FC Stade Rennes, recently admitted the lost wooing for the youngster and said: “We were there until the end, but he chose FC Bayern Munich.”

PSG makes association responsible for the flight of talent

The future of Aouchiche is still unclear. LOSC Lille, Girondins Bordeaux, AS Saint-Étienne and several clubs from abroad are considered interested. In contrast to the Causa Kouassi, which has been used regularly by PSG professionals since December, Tuchel can understand his motives. “It was difficult for Adil to find a place in the midfield. I can understand that he is trying another club to collect minutes of play. But of course I’m not happy, he has a lot of talent. ”

Due to the departure of the two youngsters, Presnel Kimpembe (24) is only one of the 25 most valuable players under contract with PSG from next season, who were also active in the youth for the French capital club.

Sports director Leonardo had recently blamed the association for the maximum duration for young players, which is three years in France. “In the current framework (…), the young people we have trained have the opportunity to sign free of charge abroad at the age of 18-19, exactly at the age at which we want to involve them in the professional team. It is terrible for the clubs because it puts us in complex situations where we only have two options. We either let them go or we pay far too much. ”
