DORTMUND, Germany (AP) — Young Germany star Youssoufa Moukoko is staying with Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund says the 18-year-old Moukoko has extended his contract with the club through June 2026. Moukoko’s contract had been due to expire at the end of the season and there had been speculation he might leave for a higher-paying rival as a free agent. Dortmund asked the forward for a decision one way or another before Sunday’s game at Augsburg. Evidently it was a yes to what Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl describes as a “very attractive offer.”
