Burkinabe international Arsène Kouassi has attracted interest from several clubs ahead of the summer transfer window, with Greek side AEK Athens emerging as a leading contender for his signature.
Kouassi, 20, has become a key player for AC Ajaccio in Ligue 2 this season, impressing both fans and scouts with his performances at left-back.
After starting the campaign with Ajaccio’s reserve team, he was quickly promoted to the senior squad, where he has made 15 league appearances and contributed two assists.
AEK Athens is preparing an offer of €500,000 to initiate talks with Ajaccio over a potential transfer.
Other European clubs are also monitoring his situation, though the Greek side appears to be making the strongest push for his services.
Ajaccio open to transfer discussions
Kouassi’s rapid rise has not gone unnoticed, and Ajaccio’s management is reportedly open to negotiations, provided they receive a suitable offer.
The young defender, who came through the club’s youth system, is under contract until June 2027.
His current market value is estimated at €150,000, but with growing interest from abroad, his price tag could rise.
Recently called up to Burkina Faso’s national team, Kouassi’s international recognition has further boosted his reputation.
His dynamic playing style and ability to contribute both defensively and offensively make him an attractive prospect for clubs looking to strengthen their left flank.
AEK Athens, a club with a history of developing young talent, appears keen to bring him to Greece.
Should the move materialize, it would provide Kouassi with an opportunity to compete in a new environment while continuing his development at a higher level.
For now, Kouassi remains focused on helping Ajaccio in their Ligue 2 campaign, with the club preparing for their upcoming fixture against Red Star.
However, with the summer window approaching, his future could soon take an exciting turn.
