If Cristiano Ronaldo says no to Liverpool, Klopp wants this World Cup striker

It is safe to say that Youssufa Moukoko has become one of the most highly touted players on the European football market. Borussia Dortmund's German striker has been in the first team for two seasons now, but given the presence of Erling Haaland, he has had few opportunities to showcase himself.

However, the Norwegian striker's departure to Manchester City at the start of the last summer transfer window has seen the Cameroonian-descended gem break through and, as a result, catch the eye of three coaches from three continental giants in Erik ten Hag, Jürgen Klopp and Julian Nagelsmann, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.

The departure of Robert Lewandowski from the Allianz Arena and the already official departure of Cristiano Ronaldo from Old Trafford due to the mutual termination of contract between club and striker is what is driving this interest in signing Moukoko, a striker who is set to become one of the best in the world over the next decade.

It is true that, in this sense, Klopp does not have so much urgency to tie down a pure reference given that a few months ago Darwin Núñez arrived at Anfield in exchange for 80 million, but if anything Moukoko has shown, in addition to being able to act as a pure striker, is to have the ability to be used on either side and even as a playmaker, acting as a link between the creative line and the '9' of the team.

Klopp wants Moukoko

In Dortmund, the player is already shining in a supernatural way and that is why the Ruhr club is trying to do everything possible to extend his commitment beyond 2023, not only with a view to continue enjoying his performances, but also to prevent him from leaving Signal Iduna Park without leaving a single euro.
