THE SPORT SCAN – According to the German tabloid BildOGC scorer Youssoufa Moukoko would lie about his age and identity. He would not be 20 years old but 4 years older and his name would be Youssoufa Mohamadou.
His name would not be Moukoko but Mohamadou and he would be 24 years old instead of 20. This information was revealed this Friday by the German tabloid Bild. According to their information, OGC Nice scorer Youssoufa Moukoko (20 years old), on loan from Borussia Dortmund this season, is lying about his age and identity. “Youssoufa Moukoko is not the biological son of my wife Marie Moukoko and myself. He was not born on November 20, 2004 in Yaoundé, Cameroon”, entrusts them with the one who would in reality be the adoptive father of the player. “He was born on July 19, 2000. We made him four years younger. Now he was officially born on November 20, 2004.
Long-standing investigations
According to the German media's investigation on site in Yaoundé, the attacker's real name is Youssoufa Mohamadou. He was born on July 19, 2000 and not November 20, 2004. Statements supported by documents discovered on site. Another disturbing element, the journalists of Bild discovered that the player's biological father, Ousman Mohamadou, lived in a villa located just 10 kilometers from the neighborhood where Moukouko grew up.
It's an old affair that this tabloid brings up to date. Six years ago, when the German signed with Nike at the age of 14 and joined Borussia Dortmund's U19s to become the youngest player to appear in the Youth League, initial assumptions were already emerging. At the time, the German Football Association (DFB) quickly denied all suspicions stating that the player was not four years older than the age declared on his official documents.
