Manchester United are interested in signing Youssoufa Moukoko from Borussia Dortmund.
The 17-year-old is at the center of an agency battle after his father accused Moukoko’s current management of greed, according to German outlet SportBild.
That breakup has led to a number of potential agents fighting for the right to represent the prodigious talent.
Moukoko is an especially attractive proposition for potential agents in part due to the fact that his contract expires at the end of the current season.
That would allow any agent to demand around €10m in fees for negotiating a transfer to a new club.
SportBild reports that the agencies involved have strong ties to England and are likely to engineer a move to a Premier League club.
Manchester United is at the front of the queue to take advantage of the situation.
The Red Devils may even look to sign the striker in January to bolster their attacking options.
Including the aforementioned agent fees, United will likely need to pay around €30m in total to complete the deal.
That would be a bargain for one of the best young strikers in world football.
Moukoko is the youngest player to score 10 outright goals for Borussia Dortmund and is still weeks away from his eighteenth birthday.
This season, the striker has scored six goals and provided three assists in the Bundesliga, having played just 677 minutes.
That gives him an engagement rate of one goal every 75 minutes, a sensational record.
With United looking to build a bright future under Erik ten Hag, Moukoko could be a fantastic addition, particularly given his need for attacking options.
