Johan Bakayoko set to leave Leipzig: loan likely in January
The Belgian has fallen out of Martin Demichelis's plans, and Leipzig are ready to let him go, most likely on loan with a buy option.
Johan Bakayoko is on his way out of RB Leipzig. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the Belgian, signed from PSV for 18 million plus bonuses in the summer of 2025, has never fitted into Martin Demichelis's plans, and a move in the winter window is quite likely.
This season he has played just over 100 minutes in total, behind options such as Brajan Gruda, Tidiam Gomis and Andrija Maksimovic. Fiorentina were among the hot names last summer, when Leipzig wanted more than 20 million; now the price has dropped to 11-12 million.
The club is willing to let him go either permanently or on loan, with a loan most likely, and a buy-back clause already fixed. His contract runs until the summer of 2030.
