Now entering the final two years of his Dortmund contract, the 19-year-old’s agent has admitted he is tired of his lack of opportunities and wants out in the summer.

“Youssoufa has great talent, unfortunately he couldn’t show it last season,” said agent Patrick Williams. Fabrizio Romano. “I think he scored 5 goals in 613 minutes [during the 2023/24 Bundesliga season] he says everything about his quality. Few players in the Bundesliga have such a level.

“Youssoufa was promised a lot before he signed, but it happened. He always only wanted to play and develop – not in other things as the media reports always say. If it was about money, he would have accepted other lucrative offers where he could get three times more money than all the media portraying him as a loser, whether it’s training or the ongoing season The only thing he wants is to play and if he’s asked to come out and play, we won’t be under pressure.

“It’s not a secret that there are enough teams who believe in Youssoufa and want him in their team. I say BVB made a mistake by releasing Youssoufa. With less playing time, everyone will know that Youssoufa’s market value will be low and Dortmund will not expect much.

“We wanted it to be different, but that’s the business of football. Youssoufa is very clear in his mind, very focused and knows what he wants to further his career. Now we are expressing interest from England, Spain and France.”

In terms of suitors, Moukoko has been in the headlines for a long time in the big clubs in the Premier League.
