Chelsea willing to splash the cash to secure signing of young German talent
Chelsea are willing to spend big money on Youssoufa Moukoko, a young German talent.
Despite being only 18 years old, Moukoko was called up to the German national team squad for the Qatar World Cup. The young forward has established himself as a first-team regular at Borussia Dortmund, having already scored six league goals this season.
His performances have piqued the interest of clubs all over Europe, with managers hoping to find the next Borussia Dortmund talent.
According to SPORT, Barcelona is interested in Moukoko after Real Madrid appears to have won the race for Endrick, but Chelsea is willing to pay a fortune to secure his signature.
Moukoko is out of contract next summer, so if he’s looking for a move to a club like Barcelona or Chelsea, there’s a good chance he could run down his current deal.Todd Boehly's philosophy at Chelsea has been to identify young talent throughout Europe and try to persuade them to move to Stamford Bridge, a refreshing change from the club's usual recruitment strategy of spending hundreds of millions on ready-made players.
