“We would obviously like to receive a decision quite promptly,” Kehl told the newspaper, “It is important for all parties to have clarity.”
For his part, Moukoko himself has denied reports that he’s been offered a €6 million annual salary by the BVB. Furthermore, the 18-year-old made clear that he didn’t wish to be pressured into making a decision about his future in a statement released via instagram on Friday.
Moukoko’s contract with the BVB expires at the end of the season. The young phenom remains free to negotiate with any and all clubs interested in him throughout the current January transfer window. He may sign papers to leave Dortmund on a free after the season as well.
