Should the Champions League runners-up secure one of their prime objectives, Moukoko may feel he stands a better chance of developing elsewhere.
As recently as October 2023, reports — including from 90min — revealed that Liverpool have been ‘long-time’ admirers of Moukoko, while fellow Premier League outfits Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers also considered loan…
