“CONFIRMED;” Deal Of Youssoufa Moukoko To Join Mason Greenwood At Marseille Again Collapsed, Next Move Revealed
Another signing for Sir Jim Ratcliffe & INEOS as Borussia Dortmund youngster Youssoufa Moukoko agrees Nice transfer after deal to join ex-Man Utd attacker Mason Greenwood at Marseille falls through
Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS company are nearing another summer signing, as Nice look set to recruit Borussia Dortmund’s Youssoufa Moukoko on loan
WHAT HAPPENED?
According to Sky Germany, Nice will bring the 19-year-old to the Ligue 1 outfit on loan with an option to buy. The striker reportedly had failed moves to Marseille, Lille and Sevilla but it appears a switch to the French team will be completed.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Ratcliffe and INEOS have been in the headlines after taking up a minority stake at Manchester United in early 2024 and then taking the lead in regards to their transfer deals. However, they also run French team Nice and that is still an important part of their business empire.
DID YOU KNOW?
Cameroon-born Moukoko joined Dortmund from St Pauli in 2016 and has since made 99 appearances and scored 18 goals for the German side’s first-team. Now, he will try his luck at Nice with Sky claiming the Ligue 1 outfit will pay his full salary and his medical will take place on Tuesday
WHAT NEXT?
Nice, who sit 12th in Ligue 1 after picking up one point from a possible six so far this season, are away to Angers in the league on Sunday. Moukoko, 19, could make his Nice debut when that fixture comes around this weekend.
