According to Spain's daily sports newspaper, Barcelona have recently been interested in Bundesliga Borussia Dortmund striker Mukoko, who sees the 17-year-old German as Lewandowski's successor. However, the challenges facing Barcelona are daunting, with a number of big clubs including Real Madrid, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain taking a keen interest in Mukoko, while Jurgen Klopp, the German Liverpool, is now in the best position to sign Mukoko.
The 17-year-old Mukoko's contract with Borussia Dortmund expires next summer, and as things stand, the German teenager doesn't seem interested in renewing his contract. Although Borussia Dortmund are willing to continue to give Mukoko enough to play, the latter sees Haaland's struggles at Dortmund and prefers to join a team that can compete for the title as soon as possible, and believes that he is capable enough to occupy a regular position in such a team. However, considering that he has already made 50 appearances for Dortmund at a young age, but has only played a total of 1296 minutes, with an average of just over 20 minutes per game, it seems that such playing time is enough for a young player, but with only such playing time at Dortmund, how can he guarantee his place at the giants?
At this point, Liverpool showed their near-water side, with former Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp assuring Mukoko that he would be a key member of the squad for the next one to two years after a brief period of adaptation, as long as he was willing to join Liverpool. Considering that Mukoko has scored eight goals and five assists in Dortmund's limited playing time, and has often scored goals in key games, such efficiency is already top for a player who is not yet an adult, and Liverpool's pie is not a loss to himself. That's why Liverpool are now the closest team to signing Mukoko.
However, several other clubs also have their own merits. Real Madrid Barca are willing to pin their future on Mukoko, and given the age of Lewandowski and Benzema, Mukoko will not wait long at these two clubs, and their influence is greater than Liverpool. As for Paris Saint-Germain, they also need a centre-forward to help them after Icardi's departure, and the way they attract Mukoko is simply and crudely throwing money. Several other clubs are willing to give Mukoko an annual salary of up to 5 million euros, but Paris Saint-Germain is willing to give an additional 1 million, which could be a decisive factor in the deal.
