In recent times, Bayer Leverkusen showed interest in Johan Bakayoko before RB Leipzig took the lead in negotiations.

Johan Bakayoko has attracted interest from Bayer Leverkusen among other clubs. After losing his starting position at PSV and entering the last year of his contract, PSV is considering a transfer for a fee of 20 million euros including bonuses. Fabrizio Romano reports that five clubs have contacted PSV regarding Bakayoko.

Bayer Leverkusen have genuine interest in Johan Bakayoko as a new winger for Erik ten Hag, as there's currently no chance for Alejandro Garnacho deal to happen. Several clubs are keen on signing Bakayoko, but Leverkusen are particularly interested. PSV wants 25 million euros for their winger, and Leverkusen seems willing to meet this price. Negotiations between the two clubs are already underway.

Bayer Leverkusen sees Johan Bakayoko as an ideal option for a right winger. He is expected to leave PSV due to losing his position to Ivan Perisic and being in the last year of his contract. Leverkusen faces competition from Monaco, Nottingham Forest, and Bournemouth for his signature.
