When it comes to Yousoufa Moukoko’s future, Borussia Dortmund just doesn’t calm down. There have been rumors of transfers and speculation about the future of the exceptional 18-year-old striker for months.
Because there is still no concrete decision as to whether or not he will extend his contract with BVB, which expires in the summer.
Negotiations between him and the black and yellow have been stuck for months. Therefore, BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl is now pushing. “Of course, we want to make the decision as soon as possible. It is important for everyone involved to have clarity,” he told the Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung.
“BVB is threatened with a Moukoko departure.”

Because if those responsible still want to receive a transfer fee for the attacker, they would have to sell him in this transfer window by January 31st.
Moukoko railed against reports on Instagram
According to “Bild”, Moukoko is said to have turned down an improved offer of allegedly six million euros before Christmas. That prompted him to take a swipe at Instagram. “I will never accept such a lie about me. Even though I’m still young, I don’t let myself be pressured into making decisions about my future‘ he wrote on his Instagram story.
According to information from Sky, Moukoko is said to have actually turned down an offer from BVB. “There was a secret meeting between Dortmund, Moukoko and his agent before Christmas. There is a new offer, it is suggested that it is the final offer. But Moukoko is not ready to accept the offer“Said Sky transfer expert Marc Behrenbeck.
In addition to the basic salary, the signing bonus should be a decisive factor. According to Sky, the 18-year-old is demanding a so-called signing fee of more than ten million euros.
And sums it up clearly: “BVB is threatened with a Moukoko departure.”
At the World Cup, the young star was diplomatic about his future. “In the end I’ll make my decision anyway. I feel good in Dortmund, I can feel the confidence of the coach and in the end you’ll find out whether I’m staying or not‘ he said at a press conference.
Chelsea are considered a serious Interest
But no matter how high Moukoko’s demands should be, top international clubs like Chelsea should want to fulfill them, according to the sports portal “The Athletic”. According to Sky and “The Athletic” there are already promising negotiations between the club and the German national striker.
So it would currently look more like Moukoko leaving Borussia – the only question is whether it will be in winter or not until summer.
While Moukoko has had a good season so far with six Bundesliga goals and is preferred to Anthony Modeste in Dortmund, he would have to face much greater competition in London.
Alone in the forward position, he would fight for playing time with national team colleague Kai Havertz, ex-Dortmund player Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Armando Borja and winter newcomer David Fofana.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s career is coming to an end. His last chapter in Europe at Manchester United ended abruptly after a sensational interview and several other faux pas beforehand. The contract with the English club was terminated.
