According to German media Biography, Dortmund and Leverkusen and other teams are interested in Eindhoven striker John Bakayoko.

John Baccayoko is fast, energetic and has a goal threat, and his contract expires in 2026. Eindhoven is under pressure and can only receive high transfer fees this summer.

A year ago, John Bakayoko rejected a offer from Riyadh Crescent, which would have brought Euro 55 million in transfer fees to Eindhoven. His current value is between 25 million and 30 million euros, and Eindhoven is trying to raise the price.

Dotter has listed John Baccayoko as one of the three candidate targets, and Leverkusen has also conducted an inquiry.

The Dutch Telegraph reported that Leverkusen "has expressed serious interest". Also interested in it are Bournemouth and Nottingham Forests, and Monaco.

Leverkusen and Dortmund's advantage over Premier League clubs is that they will participate in the Champions League next season, and the Bundesliga is considered more attractive than the Ligue 1.

In addition, Leverkusen is introducing midfielder Tilman from Eindhoven. Currently, only a physical examination is missing and is expected to be completed this week. It would be reasonable to sign two players who are familiar with each other and cooperate well as a substitute for Wilz.

coach Tenhach often observes right winger John Bakayoko in the Eredivisie, who has made 131 appearances for Eindhoven in the past three seasons, scored 33 goals and contributed 22 assists.
