Youssoufa Moukoko’s advisor recently made a statement to the public that should not only have caused smiling faces at Borussia Dortmund. Now BVB has spoken up.
“It’s not a matter of course that Youssoufa is extending BVB!” Moukoko’s agent Patrick Williams recently explained to “image“. The U21 national player’s working paper ends next year. The reason for the reluctance is the short playing time.
“Yes, he has been thrown back a bit by injuries this season. Yes, the competition at BVB is of course great. But he hardly gets the playing time he needs in the current phase of his career in Dortmund,” added Williams: “Of course we’re thinking about what’s best for the future.”
Sebastian Kehl, head of the licensed player department at BVB, has now put on record how the situation in Dortmund is assessed.
BVB prefer to ‘discuss things confidentially’
“Youssoufa is a talent from our own youth, but unfortunately he has rarely been available to us for a long time since the summer due to various injuries. That does not change our high esteem, we have also been in contact with him and his agent for a long time”, leads Kehl in conversation with the “image” out.
However, the 41-year-old cannot resist a dig: “However, we prefer to discuss things confidentially.”
According to the newspaper, BVB will do everything possible to prevent the 17-year-old from leaving. The attacker’s contract, which is currently dated until the end of June 2023, is said to be “absolutely extended”.
Despite many failures and the almost overwhelming competition from Erling Haaland, Moukoko has made eleven appearances for the Borussia Dortmund professionals this season. However, mostly only as a joker.
