The incredible salary of Youssoufa Moukoko, the new African Lionel Messi who plays for Borussia Dortmund at 16

Youssoufa Moukoko became Borussia Dortmund's revelation when at age 16 he became the youngest player to make a professional Champions League debut. The German striker is called to be the next Lionel Messi and that is why he is already receiving a salary worthy of the best players in the world.

Many players are called the new Lionel Messi but few are the ones who succeed because they have to carry the burden of being the Argentine's successor. Youssoufa Moukoko does not seem to care because in addition to showing that he has a great soccer level, he already has a salary that exceeds that of many players in the world.

Borussia Dortmund pays Youssoufa Moukoko a figure close to $ 700,000 per week which is equivalent to almost $ 3 million per month. That figure is incredible for the age of the young player since days ago he had not even made his debut in the first team because he was 15 years old. Now the young forward not only made his debut in the first team but also went viral.

In addition to receiving his salary from Borussia Dortmund, Youssoufa Moukoko is believed to have a contract with Nike for more than $ 10 million. It's a great move from the clothing brand as they make sure to sponsor future Lionel Messi. As the saying goes, better prevent than cure and that is why Borussia Dortmund is doing everything so that it does not change teams.
