Contract negotiations between Borussia Dortmund and top talent Youssoufa Moukoko have been going on for months. So far, both parties have not been able to reach an agreement. In addition to Moukoko's demand for more working time, different salary expectations should also play an important role.

According to a report in the Bild newspaper, BVB is offering its Sturmjuwel a long-term contract with an annual salary of over four million euros. According to the picture, the Moukoko side, represented by the Hamburg agent Patrick Williams, demands up to six million euros per year.

Whether BVB will agree to this demand or instead accept a free transfer loss of the U21 national player in the coming summer can hardly be reliably predicted. The fact is that the black and yellow only announced a change in the current salary structure on Wednesday. In the annual report for 2021/22, the club stated that it wanted to focus on a lower average basic salary with higher bonus payments in the future.

However, the main reason for the tough negotiations should still be the unclear sporting perspective. Moukoko wants significantly more playing time than before and will most likely wait until the winter break to make a decision about his future.

On the one hand, the attacker knows at this point how often coach Edin Terzic has used him in the upcoming English weeks. On the other hand, the teenager celebrates his 18th birthday on November 20th and achieves full legal capacity, which enables him to make an independent decision independently of his parents.
