Youssoufa Moukoko is linked with a move away from Borussia Dortmund and offered to Barcelona, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Liverpool.
A report from Defensa Central claims that Youssoufa Moukoko has been offered to clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool, Barcelona and Real Madrid. The German international is valued at €35 million, and it remains to be seen whether any of the European clubs are keen on securing his services.
The 18-year-old was regarded as a top-class talent a few seasons ago. But his development has not gone according to plan. The striker scored just secen goals across all competitions last season and has found the back of the net only once this season.
There is no doubt that he remains a prodigious young talent, and he could develop into a quality attacker in the coming seasons. Barcelona could certainly use more depth in the attacking department, and he could prove to be a useful option for a reasonable price.
The Blaugrana are going through financial difficulties, and the prospect to sign a talented young player like him for €35 million can be hard to turn down. Meanwhile, Real Madrid need to add more depth to their attack as well, especially after the departure of Karim Benzema. Moukoko would be a quality acquisition for them. Real Madrid have the financial resources to get the deal done as well.
Chelsea need to add more attacking depth to their squad. They signed Nicolas Jackson to solve their goalscoring problems. But the former Villarreal forward needs more support in the attack. And they have recently shown interest in the Borussia Dortmund striker.
As far as Liverpool are concerned, they have a number of quality attackers at their disposal, and Moukoko might find it difficult to play regular first-team football with a move to Anfield. The Reds should look to sign a goalscoring winger instead, especially if Mohamed Salah ends up leaving the club at the end of the season.
All four clubs should be able to afford the €35 million asking price, and it will be interesting to see where the German international ends up eventually. Working with managers like Mauricio Pochettino, Jurgen Klopp, Carlo Ancelotti and Xavi Hernandez could help him develop further and fulfil his tremendous potential.
