"It's not easy to say goodbye to a club like Dortmund, because this club, my team-mates, coaches and the great fans will always mean a lot to me," Moukoko said.
Moukoko joined the Dortmund youth academy at 11 years old. In 2020, at the age of 16, he made his professional debut and became the youngest player to play a Bundesliga game. Last season, he played at Nice on loan.
"Unfortunately, his development has recently stalled. I'm sure everyone involved would have liked it to be different," sporting director Sebastian Kehl said.

James Trafford to Newcastle United confidence grows with key date approaching
Confidence is growing that James Trafford will be Newcastle United's first signing of the summer after a patient wait from those inside St James' Park. After a pursuit lasting longer than 12 months, the Burnley stopper has certainly had to bide his time amid rampant speculation over his future. Advertisement The Clarets have stuck an inflated price tag on Trafford's signature of late after initially asking for £20m last summer. Since then, the goalkeeper has made history in the Championship and entered the fray to compete with Jordan Pickford at international level. All signals in recent weeks have pointed towards Trafford arriving at St James' Park, with movement expected in early July, when Newcastle will be on a healthier financial footing given the start of a new accounting period. The key date for the diaries is June 30, which marks the PSR deadline passing and a new, rolling three-year period starting. READ MORE: Newcastle United's transfer priority is staring them in the face and must be addressed READ MORE: Newcastle United stage 'quiet talks' with Alexander Isak as Liverpool clarity emerges Advertisement Personal terms have never been an issue, given an agreement was reached on that front in 2024. Discussing last summer's failed move, Trafford recently told Ben Foster's 'Fozcast': "The club that I was close to going, it was a good fit for me. It was brilliant for me and I really believed in it. 'I wanted to move, not just because I didn't want to play in the Championship, I had no shame playing in the Championship. I have no ego to think I'm better than the Championship. You only prove something by performing and showing people. You can say whatever you want but unless you perform. "It was just when an opportunity and a situation you think suits you can happen, you should take it and you should try and go for it, so I wanted to move. It was close but it didn't end up happening." Burnley have signed goalkeeper Max Weiss in a £4.3m deal from German side Karlsuher, only adding to the feeling Trafford was set to depart Turf Moor. Meanwhile, Nick Pope is expected to stay on Tyneside, while Martin Dubravka and Odysseas Vlachodimos could depart in the coming months.

Ahead of their Club World Cup last-16 clash with Flamengo, Bayern Munich's Vincent Kompany attended his press conference. The Bavarians' head coach discussed the importance of the tournament and have his thoughts on their Brazilian opponents. Advertisement "It's difficult to categorize because, as Bayern Munich, you can't say one competition is more important than another; they're all important. "When you analyze them [Flamengo], it's very clear what they're doing: They have clear ideas, and their players believe in those ideas. 'It's a mix of top-level discipline in the defensive movement, and good attacking ideas. Flamengo brings all of that to the pitch. 'Of course, they're a Brazilian team, but we're expecting a game at a top European level,' he said. Kompany also provided a brief personnel update, touching on the fitness of Jamal Musiala's in particular. Advertisement "What's important for Jamal is that he's training and is available again – that's better than not being there at all. "But his role [tomorrow]? We'll wait and see and decide tomorrow whether he can start. 'When you're coming back from injury and haven't had any friendlies, you have to integrate into the team in a competition,' he added.

Striker: Harry Kane has two goal involvements in three Club World Cup appearances (AP) There will be a clash of titans tonight as the 34-time Bundesliga winners Bayern Munich meet the seven-time champions of Brazil Flamengo. Bayern have scored more goals than any other side at the Club World Cup so far, besides Manchester City, thanks primarily to their 10-goal drubbing of Auckland City in their tournament opener. Advertisement Even that was not enough to see them atop the group, though, as they were pipped to first place by Benfica after losing 1-0 to the Portuguese outfit in matchday three. Flamengo, on the other hand, were the first team to qualify for the knockout stages, and needed just two matches to do so. They confirmed their progression after stunning Chelsea 3-1 in week two as Nicolas Jackson was sent off in the second half for a rash, studs-up challenge. The Brazilians collected a clean-sheet win over Tunis and drew 1-1 with LAFC to complete the group stage. This tie's winner will face either Paris Saint-Germain or Inter Miami in the quarter-finals. How to watch Flamengo vs Bayern Munich TV Channel: Tonight's match will be broadcast live on Channel 5, with coverage starting from 8pm BST ahead of a 9pm kickoff.
