Is one of the greatest BVB talents of all time planning the summer escape?
In his youth, striker Youssoufa Moukoko (17) broke one record after the other. But with the professionals, the highly gifted hardly gets a foot on the ground. His frustration record of the past season: 24 competitive games, but only 482 minutes. Plus three goals, the last of which on Saturday to win over Hertha (2-1). What’s next for Youssoufa?
Wild real rumor about Moukoko! But BVB bosses want to keep him.
The Spanish sports newspaper “As” connects the youngster with Real Madrid. The royals are said to be even willing to pay 20 million euros for the German U21 international (has a contract until 2023).
What is true: The youngest Bundesliga professional of all time – debut at 16 years and one day – is dissatisfied at BVB. Requests more playing time.
But the truth is just as important: due to various injuries alone, he was absent for a whopping 104 days (!). On Saturday, Moukoko caused a stir on the Snapchat social platform with the photos he posted. On one he is sitting in the team bus, with the line below: “One last time.” The other shows his shoe closet and has the note: “After 6 years of wonderful moments, I have to say goodbye. Thank you for everything!”
The pictures have since been deleted. Because their messages were said to have been misunderstood. The young striker (market value 15 million) would only have wanted to say goodbye to his retiring teammates (including Witsel, Haaland, Bürki) with them…
The fact is: The BVB bosses are still pursuing the plan to extend the contract with Moukoko in the long term. In addition, there is still no concrete offer for him in Dortmund. Neither from Real nor from other clubs.
Should Moukoko nevertheless express a change request during the summer break, Borussia would only give him a buyback option.
