BVB wants to present a new striker shortly – Moukoko should extend

“WAZ” report

“We will only sign a new striker if we are 100 percent convinced of him. We won’t let ourselves drift,” said Borussia Dortmund’s new sports director Sebastian Kehl in a recent interview with “Welt am Sonntag” about a possible replacement for the seriously ill newcomer Sébastien Haller (28), who will not be available for months. Of the “WAZ” According to BVB, the efforts have progressed further than recently publicly communicated. Accordingly, those responsible for the black and yellow would like to present a new attacker this week or the following week.

The newspaper is reluctant to name names, although there are no bans on thinking about a potential newcomer. It is clear that the new man should have a profile similar to Haller’s and should be financially viable. Inter Milan’s Edin Dzeko (36) is therefore out of the question, while Cologne striker Anthony Modeste (34) could become an issue in Dortmund. 31 million purchase Haller has to undergo chemotherapeutic treatment for a malignant testicular tumor.

“It is our duty to examine all options. But it is very clear that we will build on Sébastien in the future. That’s why we don’t need a striker for a longer period of time,” Kehl emphasized.

BVB relies on Moukoko in the long term – loan in the 2nd division?

Storm talent Youssoufa Moukoko is said to extend his contract beyond 2023 in the long term. The 17-year-old, of whose qualities one is convinced, has a concrete contract offer from BVB. “He was very motivated throughout the preparation. He wants to take his chance, that’s clear,” Kehl is quoted as saying. As it is said, a timely decision cannot be expected because Moukoko first wants to wait and see how his situation in Dortmund develops. The youngster, who didn’t really get anywhere with the pros last year, wants to keep an eye on his perspective.

The “WAZ” concludes that an extension and subsequent loan to an ambitious second division club, for example, which uses a similar style of play to BVB, could therefore be an option, so that Moukoko can mature as best as possible.
