In July 2016, Bouka Moutou was transferred to newly promoted Ligue 1 side Dijon for a fee of €400,000.[3][4] He made his first-team debut on 17 September 2016 in a 0–0 draw against Metz.[5] In the 2016–17 season, he made a total of ten first-team appearances, two appearances in the French Cup and three reserve team appearances in CFA 2.[3]

The following season, Bouka Moutou made six first-team league appearances and one appearance in the Coupe de la Ligue.[3] With the reserve side, he made five appearances.[3] The 2018–19 season saw a further reduction in first-team playing time for Bouka Moutou, as he made only three league appearances and two in the French Cup, while making another five appearances with the reserves.[3] He departed the club at the end of that season after his contract ran out.[6]
