The German record champion is pushing ahead with the planning for the coming season and is hiring a top talent from French Ligue 1 – and is tying the newcomer in the long term.
FC Bayern Munich have signed Tanguy Kouassi. The French top talent will switch from Paris Saint-Germain to the German record champions next season. The Munich announced this on Wednesday. The 18-year-old French international has signed a contract until 2024. Kouassi is free of charge.
“In our eyes he is one of the greatest talents in Europe,” said sports director Hasan Salihamidzic: “His top position is a central defender, but he can play in several positions. We are sure that he will have a great career with us and one is absolute reinforcement. ” Kouassi added, he hoped “very much that I will prevail here and have many missions”.
The central defender made his professional debut for PSG last season and under coach Thomas Tuchel completed a total of 13 competitive games in the league, the cup competitions and the Champions League (three goals). “We gave him confidence, he got minutes of play,” the “sad” Tuchel complained recently about saying goodbye to his own crop.
After goalkeeper Alexander Nübel (Schalke 04), Kouassi is the second Bayern signing for the coming season. In addition, Leroy Sane’s move from Manchester City to Munich should be perfect. An official confirmation is still pending.
