Youssoufa Moukoko is fully expected to return to Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season when his loan spell at OGC Nice comes to an end.

According to French Nice-Matin reporter Leandra Iacono, Nice have no plans to trigger their €18 million purchase option for the German striker.

“The club has not yet made an official statement, but there is no doubt that the purchase option will not be exercised,” Iacono told Ruhr Nachrichten.

"Moukoko has been given plenty of chances, but he has never been able to convince. OGC Nice have very few injured players at the moment. If all the players are available, it's difficult for him to make the squad," said Iacono

Moukoko has scored two goals in 22 games for Nice in total, and it's been more than a month since he last played for the French side.
