Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has admitted Youssoufa Moukoko may leave the club for nothing this summer. One of the brightest prospects in European football, the 18-year-old made a cameo appearance for Germany at the World Cup.
Astonishingly, Moukoko’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season. The same contract he signed as a 16-year-old is almost up - allowing Newcastle to swoop in with their new-found wealth.
German publication Sport1 claims the Magpies have offered the forward £9million per year, around 36x more than his current deal at Dortmund. Six goals and four assists in the Bundesliga have only heightened the intrigue around Moukoko.
