Barcelona is interested in Borussia striker Youssouf Moukoko.
According to Diario Sport, the Catalan club are considering signing the 18-year-old forward and believe they can win the battle for him. Barca turned to the German`s candidacy after losing to Real Madrid the fight for 16-year-old Palmeiras striker Endric. The Blaugrana consider Yussuf`s transfer a more attractive option as he is adapted to European football.
Moukoko`s current contract with Borussia expires in the summer of 2023. The agreement has not yet been renewed. Barca knows that the forward wants to move. The club will soon hold a meeting to decide whether to sign this player.
Barcelona held several meetings with Endrick`s agents, and the player spoke with Xavi. However, the club pulled out of the fight for him when they found out the amount of the deal. Barca considers it too high and does not want to take risks, given the difficult financial situation at the club. In this regard, Barca never made a concrete offer for the Brazilian.
Several clubs predicted by live soccer games have already contacted Moukoko - in particular Chelsea. But Barca believes that the player wants to either extend his contract with Borussia or continue his career in Xavi`s team.
Barca are debating whether to try to sign Moukoko. There is an opinion that there are already many young players in the team. There is no doubt about Yussuf`s qualities and he has received good reviews, but the club`s management thinks it might be worth signing a more experienced striker. The club is interested in all players who will become free agents next summer.
Barcelona will definitely strengthen their attack next summer.
This season, Moukoko has six goals and three assists in 12 Bundesliga matches. Full stats for the striker, who was part of the Germany squad for the 2022 World Cup, can be found .
