Borussia Dortmund player’s agent Patrick Williams has confirmed that Youssoufa Moukoko is not close to signing a new contract with his current club amid ties to the Blues.
Youssoufa Moukoko moves to Chelsea?
The young player’s current contract expires in the summer, but Youssoufa Moukoko has been reported to be on the verge of signing a new deal. However, his agent denied these claims and also dismissed the notion that the 18-year-old is demanding a substantial new weekly wage of £115,000 a week.
The teenager’s agent said he could confirm that they were not going to sign a contract extension with Borussia Dortmund. According to Patrick Williams, he can also reassure them that the numbers circulating are simply not correct and he has never been offered that much, but they are still in touch with Dortmund and will see what the next few days bring. Patrick Williams says that a player like him is of interest to every top club in the world. Especially when Youssoufa Moukoko is free and has a future in the German national team.
What will happen after that for Youssoufa Moukoko?
Outside the blues, a number of top sides in Europe are said to be eager to sign the youngster, with Bayern Munich goalkeeper Neuer even yelling “Come to Bayern!” at Youssoufa during the World Cup press conference. If the player doesn’t sign a new deal soon, pre-contract negotiations could begin in January, six months before the teenager becomes a free agent.
His form was enough to take the player to the World Cup, where Youssoufa Moukoko became the youngest German player ever to play in the tournament, but after the disappointment in Qatar, the player is now returning to the Bundesliga with his future in the air.
What else is new in Chelsea?
There is information that the Blues will soon name Christopher Vivell as their new CTO.
How was everything?
Christopher has been in the Blues mixed doubles since October, acting as a consultant. But now, after securing a work permit, he will be announced as the new technical director of the London club, as announced by Florian Plettenberg.
A little about the topic
The Blues’ service staff has been in a state of flux since owner Todd Boehly bought the club last summer. Some onlookers suggested that the club’s summer recruitment was ill-advised and Chelsea‘s new owner will be hoping that Christopher Vivell’s numbers will be a big step towards stability.
A product of the Red Bull system, Christopher left RB Leipzig in October, citing differences of opinion as the club’s reason for leaving. Shortly after that, he was invited to the Blues. Christopher has an impressive transfer business in his past, having been involved in the deals that brought Karim Adeyemi and Erling Haaland to Salzburg.
The Blues’ new technical director will take over the role shortly, pending the club’s announcement. And with the January window right around the corner, it will be interesting to see how Christopher Vivell manages the free spending club’s recruiting policy.
