A true precocious talent, Youssoufa Moukoko is the delight of Borussia Dortmund’s youth teams. Serial scorer in the lower categories with 141 goals scored and 27 assists delivered in 190 matches played with the U17s and U19s, the German Espoir international (2 caps, 3 achievements) had also marked German football by becoming the youngest player in the history of the Bundesliga to play a first division match at 16.

The reason is simple: Moukoko believes that his club cannot give him the necessary guarantees concerning his playing time. for Marsupials who hope to send 11 players, but not really Moukoko. However, the young striker’s decision comes as no surprise.
A blocked future in the first team
On January 25, his agent Patrick Williams already announced the color. “It is not obvious that Youssoufa extends to BVB. Yes, he has been put off a bit by injuries this season. Yes, the competition at BVB is of course fierce. But the playing time he needs at the current stage of his career is hardly getting to Dortmund at the moment. Of course, we think about what is best for the future. »
Or image assures that the BVB, which is almost certain to also lose Erling Haaland this summer, has no plans to raise Moukoko in rank. Clearly, if the Norwegian giant leaves, the club will bet big on Karim Adeyemi. A track widely mentioned. And if the Salzburg player arrives, the number 2 scorer role will be for the Batavian Donyell Malen. The former PSV player is not yet shining (4 goals in the Bundesliga), but Dortmund wants to make a profit from a player bought for €30m last summer. Faced with this observation, Youssoufa Moukoko therefore risks acting accordingly.
