Youssoufa Moukoko is not close to signing a new contract at Borussia Dortmund, the player's agent has confirmed.
The 18-year-old has been linked with a move to Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea in recent months as he continues to impress at the Signal Iduna Park. After scoring six goals and notching four assists in the Bundesliga this term, Moukoko was called up to Hansi Flick's Germany squad for this winter's World Cup in Qatar.
However, with just six months remaining on his current deal in Germany, the forward's agent, Patrick Williams, confirmed that he is not close to agreeing on an extension at Dortmund, which is likely to leave a whole host of European club's on red-hot alert ahead of the January transfer window.

"I can confirm that we are not about to conclude a contract extension with Borussia Dortmund," Williams told Sky Germany.
"I can also assure you that the numbers that are circulating are simply not correct and Youssoufa was never offered that much. But we are still in contact with Dortmund and will see what the next few days bring."
He added: "A player like Youssoufa is interesting for every top club in the world. Especially when he is free and has a future in the German national team."
It means that if the two parties are unable to agree on a new deal, the 18-year-old would be free to negotiate with overseas clubs from January 1 ahead of a Bosman transfer in the summer.
