Report: Borussia Dortmund leading the race to sign highly rated French striker Mohamed-Ali Cho
Borussia Dortmund are said to be interested in signing highly rated striker Mohamed-Ali Cho, who plays for French club Angers SCO.
Mohamed-Ali Cho is enjoying an impressive breakthrough campaign in Ligue 1, and he is attracting the interest of some of Europe’s biggest clubs. According to L’Equipe, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid and several clubs in Germany are following his progress. But it is Borussia Dortmund who are leading the race for his signature.
The newspaper claims that Borussia Dortmund have held talks with Mohamed-Ali Cho’s entourage and they have already presented their project to the player.
Angers SCO are said to be dreaming of a transfer fee in the region of 40 million euros, but the newspaper adds that they already know that they are not going to receive that amount for the 17 year old. The striker’s contract with the French side is due to expire at the end of next season.
