RB Leipzig are on the verge of signing Belgian international Johan Bakayoko. According to Sky, the 22-year-old is set to sign for the Saxons in the near future.

RB Leipzig and Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven have reportedly reached an agreement on the transfer of Johan Bakayoko, according to pay-TV broadcaster Sky. According to the report, the Belgian international will undergo a medical check in Leipzig on Tuesday or Wednesday and then sign a contract with the Bundesliga club until 2030. According to the information, the Saxons will pay a transfer fee of 18 million euros.

Bayer Leverkusen are also said to have been particularly interested in Bakayoko. However, the German runners-up are said to have pulled out of the transfer poker for the winger. In Eindhoven, the 22-year-old actually still has a contract until the end of June 2026.

According to information from Sky, RB are also on the verge of signing Yan Diomande. The 18-year-old Ivorian is currently still under contract with Spanish second division club CD Leganés. A "verbal agreement" has been reached between the clubs. Diomande's contract with Leganés is valid until the summer of 2027.
