Borussia Dortmund had high hopes for Youssoufa Moukoko, but over time, problems began to surface. In Germany, they started digging into his past, questioning his age, and then the talented striker raised his demands. He insisted that his salary be 10 million euros, or there would be no contract extension. As a result, he ended up on the transfer list.The club decided either to sell him or send him on loan with an obligation to buy. Moukoko preferred Marseille, but in the end, the Velodrome side decided not to take the gamble on him. They were unwilling to shoulder all the costs, and the deal fell through. That’s when Betis saw their opportunity and decided to seize it. An agreement was reached!##NAJAVA_MECA_8275758##As well-informed Florian Plettenberg reported, the Andalusian club found common ground with Moukoko. They reached a verbal agreement, and the striker is even willing to make concessions by agreeing to a pay cut. His current salary is 6 million euros gross.Betis could come out of this deal well, but they need to get the green light from Westfalen. They’ve submitted an offer, but nothing is finalized yet. Borussia Dortmund’s response is awaited. What is known is that last season’s Champions League finalist expects to receive around 15 million euros as compensation.🚨⚫️🟡 Youssoufa #Moukoko has reached a verbal agreement in principle with @RealBetis ✔️ @berger_pj 🤝… to finalize the transfer, he is willing to accept a pay cut. Current salary: up to €6m gross/year. Betis have made a concrete offer to Borussia Dortmund. Negotiations… pic.twitter.com/OX8uwJ7hDI— Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) August 17, 2024 Borussia Dortmund didn’t even give Marseille trouble over when the payment would be made, considering a loan with a mandatory buyout. Olympique Marseille is no longer a threat to the club from Benito Villamarín, nor is Lille. The French teams won’t spoil the deal, but Nottingham Forest might.It’s entirely possible that Westfalen will take their time before giving Betis a final response.
