Moukoko based on loan in Nice: New opportunities or failed expectations?

Moukoko based on loan in Nice: New opportunities or failed expectations?

Nizza, Frankreich - Youssoufa Moukoko was given until the end of the season of the BVB OGC Nice. This loan is a crucial opportunity for the 19-year-old attacker because he received only a limited time in Dortmund. In the past few months, Moukoko has only played six minutes, with his presence on the square being very limited. Nizza's trainer Franck Haise emphasized that the competition in the storm of the club was too great and Moukoko had difficulty assisting in the team.

The rental of the young talent was also crucially brought into conversation by BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl, who stated that a new environment would do Moukoko well. This is related to the recent transfers of BVB, where yesterday was signed two expensive strikers: Serhou Guirassy and Maximilian Beier. Due to these developments, remaining Moukoko in the Dortmund squad was no longer realistic.

situation in Nice

in Nice, which was excreted as the penultimate table from the Europa League, Moukoko could close the gap that was created by the cruciate ligament tear of terem Moffi. Nice secured a purchase option of 18 million euros for Moukoko, but Haise explained that it would probably not be pulled. However, he praised Moukoko for his remarkable attitude in training and his willingness to adapt.

MOUKOKO, who scored 18 goals for BVB in 99 games and currently has a market value of 22 million euros, is the second most valuable player in the Nice squad. His loan can be seen as an important stage in his career in order to develop further and possibly to step into the shop window for a permanent place near Dortmund.

contractual perspectives

Borussia Dortmund will return with Moukoko in summer, but the future of the striker remains uncertain. Both Moukoko and his team -mate Sébastien Haller are faced with an uncertain perspective at Dortmund, since their contracts run until 2026, but both could not show the necessary services in the current season. Speculations for possible transfer fees are in the room, since Moukoko was associated with Real Betis and Olympique Marseille.

The loan Moukoko’s marks another chapter in the development of young talents that Dortmund got out of his own youth. It remains unclear whether Borussia will hold it in the long term or give it up. In view of the recent transfers and the overall trends in the Bundesliga, both sides should quickly agree on the future steps.
