The facade of football star Youssoufa Moukoko (officially 20) is increasingly crumbling…
Moukoko's alleged father says: “He is not my biological son nor my wife's. He was not born on 20/11/2004 in Yaoundé, Cameroon, but on 19/07/2000.
He was made four years younger than he actually was, he was registered in 2004.”
“The facade of football star Youssoufa Moukoko (officially 20 years old) is increasingly collapsing!” , headlines Bild on Friday morning. The German publication reveals new statements by Joseph Moukoko (73 years old). The latter assured under oath that he is not the biological father of Youssoufa Moukoko. What we already knew. But he gave other details about the player's age.
“Aware of the criminal liability of a false statement under oath, I declare (…) under oath: Youssoufa Moukoko is not the biological son of me and my wife, Marie Moukoko. Nor was he born on November 20, 2004 in Yaoundé, Cameroon (…) I told him: Youssoufa got a fake birth certificate in Yaoundé. Then I went to the embassy and got him a passport, and then I took him to Germany my son (…) He was actually born on July 19, 2000. We made him four years younger. Now he was born on November 20, 2004. My wife was employed by a temporary employment agency that works for BVB sponsor Evonik, and I was. directly employed by BVB. So we received money every month.
He would be 4 years older.
Bild states that Joseph Moukoko, who received a contract as a video analyst and scout, earned a maximum of 20,000 euros per month. Furthermore, the German media, who went to Cameroon to try to find the player's real birth certificate, found nothing about a birth in 2004. In contrast, the German media came across the birth certificate of Youssoufa Mohamadou, born on July 19. , 2000, who is not dead and is therefore 24 years old today. His father is Ousman Mohamadou, 51 years old. In the slum 'La Briqueterie' in the capital where Youssoufa Moukoko grew up, an uncle of the footballer says that his real father lives in a villa ten kilometers away. Several neighbors also confirm that the father of the BVB star, who knows everyone here, lives here. “However, it is not Joseph Moukoko who lives in the villa, but Ousman Mohamadou,” writes Bild, making serious accusations.
The publication also contacted BVB communications director Sascha Fligge. He said: “In the case of Youssoufa Moukoko, the biological parents can be traced from official identity documents and birth certificates issued by a German authority. These documents remain valid to this day and form the basis for playing rights and approvals for clubs, whether domestic or abroad, and of course for the selection teams of associations such as the German U21 national team.” Bild states that “there is a German birth certificate is because Joseph and Marie Moukoko were born in Cameroon but later obtained German citizenship. In the course of this operation, Youssoufa Moukoko's birth certificate was also converted into a German birth certificate.” As the years pass, the debate over Moukoko's age continues to rage.
