Barcelona interested in signing PSG teenager Tanguy Kouassi

Barcelona have reportedly outlined their intentions to move for Paris Saint-Germain youngster Tanguy Kouassi.

The 17-year-old defender has made 13 appearances for PSG during the 2019-20 campaign, scoring three goals in the process.

The Frenchman will see his contract at the Parc des Princes expire this summer, though, and the starlet is widely expected to leave Thomas Tuchel’s side in search of pastures new.

According to AS, the Spanish champions are leading the race for the teenager, although Bundesliga side RB Leipzig are also said to be monitoring the situation ahead of a possible bid during the summer as they prepare to lose Dayot Upamecano.

Kouassi helped France’s Under-17 side finish third at the Under-17 World Cup in 2019.
