And there is a risk Dortmund could lose him on a free in the summer with the striker’s deal expiring at the end of the season.
Previous talks over a contract broke down as Dortmund were reportedly £1million short of Moukoko’s demands.
But Sky Germany claim the wonderkid is now close to signing a four-year deal.
The club met with Moukoko’s agent Patrick Williams during their recent trip to Marbella where positive talks took place.
The new contract will see Moukoko earn £50,000-a-week, which could rise to £85,000-a-week depending on bonuses.
Moukoko is also set to earn a signing on fee of around £8.8m.
That is a big blow to the likes of Chelsea and Newcastle who were monitoring the forward ahead of a potential transfer.
The Blues have been monitoring Moukoko for some time and were reported to be planning a January bid.
