BVB: Moukoko extension falters – transfer plans rejected for the time being

Contract expires in 2023

“I just want to forget this season, it was a crappy season for me,” said Youssoufa Moukoko recently in “BVB Podcast“. The many injuries suffered by the youngest Bundesliga player in history and the resulting short playing time of the 17-year-old striker at Borussia Dortmund have sparked intense discussions in the TM community about his future over the past few weeks, and this question has also been asked in the media. The “Bild” had reported, among other things, that BVB was ready to sell Moukoko – the new sports director Sebastian Kehl, however, emphasized that they wanted to extend the contract, which expired in 2023. As the “Ruhr newsNow reports, however, the talks continue to falter.

Accordingly, the negotiations have been going on for weeks without really making any progress. “If a player is not willing to extend a year before the end of the contract, then you still have the alternative of selling the player,” said BVB boss Hans-Joachim Watzke on the subject of expiring contracts in general in a media round. That could then also apply to Moukoko.

For me personally, there are no major headaches regarding Moukoko and a free transfer in 2023. BVB would be really stupid if they continued to in would set up for the professional team.
Moukoko has shown one thing in all the assignments he has had, and I am aware of the injuries, and that is that he has no real alternative …

The U21 national player himself is said to have rejected his thoughts of a transfer this year, writes the “SZ“. The reason: Edin Terzic’s return as head coach. Moukoko is said to have a very good relationship with him, and other talents would also hope for more playing time than under Terzic’s predecessor Marco Rose.

But if the top talent wants to wait and see how his chances are before the extension, with Karim Adeyemi (20) and Sébastien Haller (28) there is still powerful competition, even if Erling Haaland (21) goes, the interests with the Club crossed again. Under no circumstances does BVB want to lose the German youth striker, who was born in Yaoundé in Cameroon, on a free transfer. According to the “Bild”, a sale with a buyback option was the last thing the club did in the room. A loan for more match practice is currently not an option, since Moukoko would have to extend his contract beforehand.
