+++ RUMOR +++

Moukoko probably before extension

Borussia Dortmund and national player Youssoufa Moukoko are said to be about to sign a new contract.

According to information from the pay TV broadcaster Sky, BVB and Moukoko consultant Patrick Williams have come closer during the negotiations in Marbella.

The striker had played his way into the German World Cup squad and also into the notebooks of numerous European clubs with strong performances in autumn.

Chelsea and Newcastle United from the Premier League as well as the Spanish top club FC Barcelona are said to be among the major prospects.

Moukoko would be free next summer.

Recently, it has been repeatedly reported that the negotiations could fail because Moukoko's salary demands were too high.

Moukoko has been playing for Borussia Dortmund since 2016 and turned professional in 2020.

At 16 years and one day, he is the youngest Bundesliga player to date and at 16 years and 23 days also the youngest goalscorer in the history of the league.

Nübel does not currently believe in Bayern change, but does not rule it out either

In the debate about a replacement for the injured Manuel Neuer at Bayern Munich, loan player Alexander Nübel expressed his appreciation for AS Monaco.

“It's normal that there are rumors because I'm on loan from Bayern to AS Monaco.

I have a contract there until 2025. But I'm an AS Monaco player and that's the most important thing," said the 26-year-old goalkeeper.

“In the next few days and weeks I will only concentrate on the club because everyone is counting on me and wanting to keep me.

I'm very happy to be able to develop further here," Nübel continued.

After national goalkeeper Neuer's injury-related end of the season, Bayern are looking for a replacement.

A return campaign for Nübel, who was loaned to Monaco until the summer, is not the first option for the German soccer record champion.

Yann Sommer, 34, from Borussia Mönchengladbach is still the ideal solution.

»The transfer window is open until the end of January, anything can happen in football.

The decision is up to Monaco," said Nübel, according to the TV channel Sky.

»I had no talks with FC Bayern.

I'm happy here and that's why I'm still here.«
