Real Betis revive transfer interest in Bundesliga record breaker

Real Betis are preparing a late raid on the summer transfer window with Borussia Dortmund’s Youssoufa Moukoko back on the agenda.

Los Verdiblancos are urgently in need of forward reinforcements following a string of summer exits and injury issues.

Manuel Pellegrini was forced to push utility player Aitor Rubial into a central attacking role in their La Liga opening draw at home to Girona.

The situation needs to change before the end of the month, and the latest update from Marca indicates Moukoko is their key target, alongside interest from Ligue 1 and the Premier League.

The German international remains open to leaving Dortmund, but Real Betis cannot afford his current salary, alongside a €20m transfer fee.

Moukoko’s Dortmund career has dipped in recent seasons, following an incredible breakthrough, which saw him set new records as the youngest ever Bundesliga appearance maker and scorer and the youngest player to appear in the UEFA Champions League.
