Celtic and Rangers approach Monaco’s Kassoum Ouattara

Kassoum Ouattara (20) is the subject of interest from clubs across Europe, according to a report from Foot Mercato.

Ouattara has featured sparingly for AS Monaco. Behind Caio Henrique in the pecking order, the France youth international has struggled for game time. However, many clubs across the continent are offering him a way out of the Principality club.

Serie A side Torino have shown an interest, as have Scottish sides Rangers and Celtic. Bundesliga side Augsburg are also in the race, as are PSV Eindhoven. Ligue 1 sides Toulouse FC and FC Metz are also interested in the left-back.

However, Foot Mercato understands that the aforementioned sides want a loan move with a purchase option included in the deal. Monaco, however, would want a transfer if they are to allow the defender to leave the Stade Louis II this summer. Ouattara is prioritising maximising game time as he considers his next move.
