Borussia Dortmund open to selling their golden boy Youssoufa Moukoko

Several clubs are interested in signing German forward

Borussia Dortmund are reportedly open to the notion of offloading Youssoufa Moukoko if the team is offered a competitive price for the 18-year-old.

Even though Moukoko extended his contract with the team earlier this year, Dortmund is still open to selling the striker. According to reports, the club extended the 18-year-old's deal to keep him from departing in the summer, but now they aren't fully happy with the attacker and are willing to let him go.

Since the 18-year-old's contract is devoid of a release clause, Dortmund might agree to sell for a price of between €30 and €40 million. Moukoko has drawn interest from several teams in the past, including Real Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea, Juventus, and Barcelona.

After Sebastien Haller and Niclas Füllkrug, Moukoko now occupies third place in the striker hierarchy following Füllkrug's arrival. He hasn't performed as well this season when given the opportunity as he did last year.

Only one minute of the game was played by Youssoufa Moukoko at the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup, but it was enough to permanently inscribe his name in history.

Moukoko, who was 18 years and three days old when she entered the game against Japan on November 23 as a substitute, earned the nation's youngest player ever to compete in a World Cup. The prior record owner was Karl-Heinz Schnellinger, who was 19 years and 2 months old.

Youssoufa Moukoko has a little over two years remaining on his present agreement, which he recently extended with Borussia Dortmund in January.

In his lone start of the year, Moukoko demonstrated his talent by scoring twice for the Germany U-21s against Kosovo earlier this month in a Euro U-21s qualifying match.

The attacker unquestionably possesses the skills and potential to become Borussia Dortmund's go-to striker. But since the beginning of the year, he hasn't been given a prolonged run with the team. With Füllkrug and Haller ahead of him in the standings, it is unclear whether that will change in the upcoming weeks.
