At just 15 years old, Salomon Kourouma's star is on the rise. The Servette FC striker is attracting the attention of Europe's biggest clubs, and the Swiss side is determined to keep hold of him.

Competition from all sides!

Born in Switzerland to Ivorian parents, Salomon Kourouma, the young Servette FC winger, has become the talk of the transfer market. This right winger from the Servette Academy is receiving widespread interest and, according to Africafoot, has already received several official offers. Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig have both invited him and his family. Benfica, Celta Vigo and Levante, and Como, Parma, and Torino are also closely monitoring his progress.

Servette moves to protect its prodigy

With Europe's giants circling, Servette is moving quickly. The Swiss club has offered him a professional contract. The objective for the "Grenats" is clear: to gradually integrate their brightest young talents into the first team.

The stats speak for Kourouma. In 19 matches in the Swiss U16 league, the right winger has netted 9 goals and provided 5 assists. His profile has already piqued the interest of the Ivorian Football Federation.
