Yusuf Mukoko will stay at Borussia Dortmund until 2026

Just 18 years old, Yusufah Mukoko was in the last 6 months of his contract with Borussia Dortmund and several traditional clubs in Europe were ready to sign him this winter.

Barcelona wanted to sign the German in the summer when he was out of contract, and Chelsea were ready to bring him to Stamford Bridge this transfer window.

Although the lad was rumored to have turned down several contract extension offers from the Signal Iduna Park side, Mukoko eventually signed a new deal and will remain at Borussia Dortmund until June 2026.

“The interest from other clubs was a great honor for me, but in the end it was a decision that came from the heart. The fans have always supported me and I want to give something back to them and the club.” – said Yusufah Mukoko.
