Borussia Dortmund plans to extend Youssoufa Moukoko's contract. As an alternative, black and yellow already seem to have another attacker in their sights: Mohammed Kudus from Ajax Amsterdam has apparently aroused interest.

Those responsible at BVB repeatedly emphasize that the clear goal is to continue working with Youssoufa Moukoko even after the contract with Youssoufa Moukoko expires at the end of the season. Although an agreement seems more likely than a farewell, an extension is far from assured.

As a potential alternative, Borussia has apparently focused on Mohammed Kudus. According to the picture, Dortmund is dealing with the 22-year-old attacker from Ajax Amsterdam.

Because it is not clear whether kudus will only become an issue if the Moukoko end is sealed sooner or later, it could also be brought in as additional reinforcement. As a fast striker with good technique and a good finish, he would suit BVB well.

In the current season he has already scored seven goals in eleven appearances and prepared another one directly. Actually more at home in the attacking midfield, he mostly plays as a center forward.

In its report, Bild also mentions Otto Addo. The national coach of Ghana, who will also train the team during the approaching World Cup, has direct contact with kudus. The actual assistant coach of black and yellow could do the preliminary work, feel something and vice versa also advise the club whether he could be a reinforcement.

According to the report, Everton FC and Tottenham Hotspur are also already dealing with him. But there will certainly be more clubs that are already aiming for next summer.

However, Kudus has a contract until 2025 and is currently valued at ten million euros (via transfermarkt). So BVB would have to make some money to secure its services – so that it could possibly be signed as a Moukoko replacement.
