Moukoko nearing surprise move: will BVB get a cut? | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund could benefit from Youssoufa Moukoko’s next transfer. The former BVB wonderkid reportedly looks set for a surprising move to Turkey.

Youssoufa Moukoko’s career appears to be taking another unexpected turn. The former Borussia Dortmund prospect seems to be heading for the exit after just over a year at FC Copenhagen. His future is said to lie in Turkey.

As reported by Sky, among others, the 21-year-old striker has reached a basic agreement with Corum FK over a move. Moukoko has already traveled to Istanbul and is expected to undergo his medical there. However, the clubs involved still need to finalize the last details. A loan with an option to buy is being discussed as a possible transfer model. An early departure from Copenhagen had recently been on the cards.

So far this season, Moukoko has not featured at all in five of ten competitive matches. In the remaining games, he has logged 301 minutes but has failed to register a goal or an assist. His contract with the Danish club actually runs until 2030. That said, Moukoko’s record in his first season was quite respectable. In 41 competitive matches, he scored 18 goals and set up three more.

After leaving BVB: Moukoko still searching for his breakthrough

At the same time, Copenhagen endured a historically poor season and missed out on the championship round for the first time. Former BVB pro Thomas Delaney did not mince his words: “I am deeply ashamed. This is hell.”

Moukoko was once regarded as one of the biggest talents in German football. In Dortmund, he set several age-related records. At 16 years and one day old, he became the youngest Bundesliga player in history and shortly afterward also the youngest goalscorer at the time. He also earned two caps for Germany and was part of the squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

However, he never managed to make the permanent breakthrough at BVB. A loan spell at OGC Nice also failed to bring the hoped-for turnaround. In the summer of 2025, Moukoko ultimately moved to Copenhagen for around five million euros. Should Corum FK sign the striker on a permanent deal, Borussia Dortmund could also benefit. When he was sold to Denmark, BVB secured a 12.5 percent sell-on clause.
