Marseille are set to sign Youssoufa Moukoko on loan from Borussia Dortmund, which could end their pursuit of Eddie Nketiah.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Marseille are very close to sealing a loan move for Youssoufa Moukoko from Borussia Dortmund instead of Eddie Nketiah. The pursuit of the young striker might see the Ligue 1 giants end their long-drawn-out pursuit of Nketiah amid Arsenal’s €35 million-plus demands for their striker.
Marseille to sign Yousoufa Moukoko
In what has been a quick turnaround in choosing a different target, Marseille have moved quickly to secure Youssoufa Moukoko. The Borussia Dortmund star expressed his unhappiness at the lack of minutes last season and might get the chance to play regularly under Robert De Zerbi at Marseille.
The Borussia Dortmund attacker will sign for the Ligue 1 giants on a loan agreement, with a purchase option inserted. The Bundesliga giants will want a decent enough fee for their prospect, as they have grown out of the striker in the span of 12 months, and back then, they were desperate to keep him.
As per Fabrizio Romano, Moukoko had plenty of other clubs chasing his signature, but he chose Marseille’s project. Personal terms are also in place ahead of the move, as medical tests and other formalities will follow soon before he puts pen to paper over a season loan deal.
Should Marseille land the German attacker, they will more or less end their long, drawn-out pursuit of Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah. There is a remote chance that they see Moukoko as an additional forward in De Zerbi’s system and might return for Nketiah despite the Gunners rejecting their latest bid.
Marseille to end Nketiah’s pursuit?
Marseille’s latest bid for Nketiah amounted to around €27 million, but Arsenal want €35 million-plus and a sell-on clause in the deal. The Ligue 1 giants had suggested they might stay within the €30 million mark, which explains their most recent offer, as the move looks unlikely.
Nketiah had already agreed on personal terms with Marseille, as he was keen on the project and eager to work under De Zerbi. Arsenal had hoped to sell their academy star and raise funds to sign another forward before the transfer window shuts, although there is still plenty of time to find a new suitor, as Marseille seems to be out of the running.
