Millions keeping Liverpool from signing striker to take out Darwin Nunez

Youssoufa Moukoko is one of the many players whose contract expires on 30 June, with the German striker having a renewal offer from Borussia Dortmund which has not yet been responded to by the 18-year-old, fuelling rumours of his departure from Signal Iduna Park, with big teams interested in acquiring his services for next season.

However, in order to avoid this departure at zero cost, the German side have increased their bid for Moukoko's continuity, offering a salary of around six million euros net per season, plus a renewal bonus of 10 million euros and an important commission for the player's agent, making the total amount of this operation close to 40 million euros, which shows Dortmund's intention to take the German player away from teams like Newcastle, who seem to be in advanced negotiations to sign him.

The English side would be fully committed to Moukoko's arrival, taking advantage of their possible participation in the Champions League next season, which is a huge incentive to influence Moukoko's final decision, who will have to respond to Dortmund's upward renewal offer, having to decide between continuing to play in the Bundesliga or becoming one of the new faces of the Premier League for the 2023/2024 season.

Liverpool FC are already looking ahead to the next transfer window. Jurgen Klopp has set his sights on improving up front. With Luis Díaz injured and Darwin Núñez not fully convinced, the Reds are dreaming of three high-profile signings. Although they do not want to spend a lot of money on bringing in new faces, they would be bets for the future due to their youth and projection.
