Liverpool handed big boost in pursuit to sign 2nd Vinicius Jr from Borussia Dortmund

Youssoufa Moukoko of Borussia Dortmund is on the verge of signing an English-based agency, which is expected to be a significant assist for his pursuers, Liverpool.

According to Footy Insider, the 17-year-old has agreed to join a new English agency, which might be a crucial step towards his move as a number of clubs, including Liverpool, Barcelona, and Real Madrid, are eager to recruit him.

Unique Sports Management is an established agency whose clients include Chelsea defender Reece James and Everton forward Anthony Gordon. Moukoko’s decision to change his agent could be an indication of his desire to ply his trade in the Premier League.

Liverpool has already been linked with a move as Jurgen Klopp is aiming to make the player his next marquee signing at Anfield. The 17-year-old has already established himself as a regular starter and has been quite productive with four goals and three assists in the Bundesliga this campaign.

Born in Cameroon, the player moved to Germany at a very young age and Dortmund snapped him up as they have the knack of developing young players at their academy. Moukoko’s existing contract is set to expire next summer but the German club would use every possible resource to offer him fresh new terms as they view him as one of the hottest prospects in world football.

Barcelona has had a change in its hierarchy and the new management has been setting up the foundations for a more secure future. The likes of Ansu Fati, Gavi, and Pedri are destined for success in the near future and Moukoko could join the ranks.

The Catalan giants already have a highly appealing attacking squad, and adding Moukoko would be an extra bonus for them. Real Madrid, his archrival, could also urge for his services since they have a requirement and need for a young forward.

Moukoko could be seen as the ideal successor to Karim Benzema, but his lack of experience could be a concern. The German U21 international has already demonstrated his abilities, and a free transfer to the reigning European champions may be a fantastic deal.
