Manchester United target Youssoufa Moukoko is set to be available in January for English clubs to pounce.
Over recent weeks the Germany international has emerged as a target for a number of top European sides, including Manchester United, who are in need of a striker.
The most interested parties in Moukoko are United and Chelsea. After Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure and Armando Broja’s injury both English giants find themselves in desperate need of a goalscorer.
Moukoko’s contract with Borussia Dortmund expires at the end of the season, which means that the youngster could be available as a free agent come the end of the Bundesliga season.
Dortmund are desperate to tie the highly-rated youngster to fresh terms that would give them leverage in transfer negotiations.
According to Moukoko’s agent, there is still a long way to go with regard to arriving at an agreement between the player and his club.
As a result, there is a massive opportunity for Moukoko’s suitors to swoop in and lure the 18-year-old.
As per transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Moukoko’s agent remarked, “I can confirm that we are currently not closing in on an agreement with Borussia Dortmund to sign a new contract.”
“Moukoko is interesting for all the top clubs in this world. Even more so when he’s on a free transfer and has a future with the German national team.”

This development is the biggest indication yet of an opportunity for the Red Devils to move swiftly and procure Moukoko’s services. United have a golden opportunity to exploit his contract uncertainty.
