BERLIN (dpa): Borussia Dortmund are prepared to sell teenage striker Youssoufa Moukoko having recruited Serhou Guirassy from VfB Stuttgart, Sky Sport TV reported on Saturday.

The Black and Yellows landed in Thailand for their pre-season tour with four main strikers on their books and at least one seemingly set to leave.

Sky said 19-year-old Moukoko was being made available for around €20 million (US$22 million).

Media reports had previously considered Ivory Coast forward Sébastien Haller to be the first candidate for a sale.

The future of Germany striker Niclas Füllkrug is also unclear.

Sky said Füllkrug wants to enjoy his holiday first following Euro 2024 and then hold talks, with the Champions League runners-up reportedly wanting to keep him.

Stuttgart finished second in the Bundesliga last term, partly due to Guinea striker Guirassy's 28 goals. He has moved to fifth-placed Dortmund after they met his release clause. Both Stuttgart and Dortmund are in the revamped Champions League this term.

Coach Nuri Sahin's team were greeted by 500 fans when they landed at Bangkok airport.

They face Thai first-division team BG Pathum United on Sunday and Japanese side Cerezo Osaka on Wednesday. - dpa
