Borussia Dortmund’s Youssoufa Moukoko has expressed his intention to stay in Germany at Signal Iduna Park despite transfer interest in his services.
In recent weeks, Moukoko had become a legitimate target for Manchester United as they search for a top-quality goalscorer to lead the line.
With the youngster’s contract expiring at the end of the season and his impeccable quality already on display for the world to see, Moukoko was seen as a real contender to fit into Erik ten Hag’s schemes.
Even Dortmund, a report stipulates, were keen to sell the 18-year-old for a reduced price in January to avoid the possibility of losing him for free in the summer.
Moukoko said a few days ago that over time, his decision will become clearer with many stakeholders interested in a summer move.
The German international has now commented that he wants to stay at Dortmund as long as they clearly set out the club’s vision for him going forward.
Moukoko said: “I feel very comfortable at BVB, I love the club.”
“I would love to stay at Borussia Dortmund.”
“I want to understand what kind of project and perspective the club will offer me, it’s an important point.”

With Moukoko’s declaration that he is leaning more towards drafting a new deal with the Bundesliga giants, United must recalibrate and shift their focus towards other goals.
There are certainly options out there: Cody Gakpo, Joao Félix and Goncalo Ramos, just to name a few.
However, it will be interesting to see how Moukoko’s situation plays out and whether the end result will be a stay at Dortmund.
