Barcelona targeting Moukoko as Lewandowski's replacement

Robert Lewandowski has a contract with Barcelona until mid-2026. However, the striker is 34 years old and the Spanish club understand that they will have to find a young replacement for him in the coming seasons.

According to 'Sport', the main target is Youssoufa Moukoko, who is 17 years old. He has recently done some very good performances at Borussia Dortmund. The young striker was born in Senegal, but he became a German citizen. This season, he is already among the top scorers in the Bundesliga, where he scored six goals and provided four assists in 12 clashes played.

Moreover, his contract with Dortmund expires in mid-2023 and he has not reached an agreement to renew. In the last few hours, Moukoko spoke to 'SPORT1' and explained that he feels at home at the German club but he did not rule out a departure: "I've been here for seven years, I feel at home.... I know this club perfectly and the coach has faith in me."

We will see what happens in the coming months but the German striker could sign with Barcelona on a free next summer. However, it is not ruled out that Barca could try to sign him at an affordable price in January.

However, Xavi Hernandez's side are not the only ones interested in Moukoko. Liverpool, Real Madrid and Juventus are also interested in him for the coming transfer markets.
