With his golden goal in Borussia Dortmund’s 1-0 win in the Revierderby against FC Schalke 04, youngster Youssoufa Moukoko made his shares at BVB skyrocket again. However, the fact that the future of the attacker lies in the Ruhr area has by no means been decided.
After the current season, Moukoko’s working paper at BVB ends, the club would be only too happy to keep his top talent, but an agreement is probably still a long way off. Moukoko is said to be simply not ready to extend his contract at the moment. This reports the “picture“.
First and foremost, Moukoko should complain about his short operating time. Although Sebástien Haller, who was brought in as the offensive main actor, is long-term absent before his first competitive game for Dortmund due to a cancer diagnosis, Moukoko does not always get a chance. Also because BVB usually puts veteran Anthony Modeste in front of him – although the statistics speak for Moukoko.
The German junior international has two goals and two assists in just 155 Bundesliga minutes in 2022/23, while Modeste has just one goal in 498 minutes.
BVB Youssoufa Moukoko should offer this salary
“Bild” wants to know that “there will be no decision in this explosive personnel situation in the near future”. The key data should have been clarified long ago, but poker could take even longer.
Good for BVB: Borussia should continue to be “first point of contact” for Moukoko. A future in black and yellow should still appeal to the attacker.
Speaking of key data: According to the newspaper, there is a long-term contract in the room that should bring Moukoko around 3.5 million euros a year into the coffers.
In addition to the dear money, it should be important how coach Edin Terzic reacts to the good performance in the derby. If Terzic again prefers Modeste against Cologne, Moukoko should have doubts.
