AC Milan interested in Dortmund striker
AC Milan are interested in Borussia Dortmund prodigy Youssoufa Moukoko to strengthen their attack. The German could be available for free.
The performances of AC Milan strikers have been a rather disappointing one so far. Besides Olivier Giroud, the others have not impressed for different reasons. Divock Origi has been a true let down when given the chance. Rebic has failed to adapt in the centre forward role. Lazetic has spent more time with the Primavera squad while Zlantan Ibrahimovic is still recovering from a long injury.
The Rossoneri management will soon be looking to add a new striker to their ranks whether in January or next summer. According to reports from MilanLive, AC Milan are following Borussia Dortmund forward Youssoufa Moukoko. The German prodigy will be one of the most sought-after players at the end of the season.
Moukoko has made headlines recently for two different reason. First is the World Cup call-up by Hansi Flick. The German coach will bring Moukoko to Qatar despite the striker being just 17-years-old. The other reason is his contract with Dortmund that expires in one year.
Borussia CEO, Hans-Joachim Watzke, admitted that renewal talks with Youssoufa have stalled and there is a serious chance that Moukoko leaves as a free agent. AC Milan and Inter, together with international clubs, are keeping a close eye on this matter. It will be up to Dortmund to decide if they will sell the striker in January or risk until the summer.
The German prodigy is the youngest player ever to debut in the history of the Bundesliga at sixteen. Youssoufa Moukoko has scored 6 goals and assisted another 6 in 22 appearances with Borussia Dortmund until now.
