December 28-Moukoko’s contract with Borussia Dortmund expires next summer and he recently rejected Borussia Dortmund’s offer to renew his contract. Barcelona want to bring in Moukoko on a visa-free basis next summer, and the Daily Sports newspaper said it would be difficult for Barcelona to face competition from Premiership clubs.
Barcelona have been in contact with Moukoko for some time, and Moukoko has also expressed his desire to play for Barcelona, but Borussia Dortmund may put Moukoko into the transfer market in January next year in order to avoid losing money. It is difficult for Barcelona to pay a transfer fee for him (even if his transfer fee is not too high because Moukoko’s contract is about to expire), but some Premier League teams are willing to do so. For example, Chelsea and Liverpool, which are also interested in Moukoko.
In addition, Moukoko’s annual salary (Moukoko wants an annual salary of 7 million euros) and the requirement of playing time for Barcelona are also problematic. If he joins Barcelona next season, he will face fierce competition up front.
