Mitchel Bakker remains under contract with Atalanta Bergamo until the summer of 2027, but he is expected to continue his career in France as Olympique Lyon is interested in acquiring him. Lyon is set to compete in the Europa League for the 2025/26 season. According to De Telegraaf, Olympique Marseille and Lille OSC are also contenders in the pursuit of the Dutch left-back. Bakker made a significant impact during his stint at Lille last season, having scored three goals and delivered two assists across 24 official appearances. Lille has shown interest in signing him on a permanent basis, although it is still uncertain which club Bakker favors. Should he opt for Marseille, he would have the chance to participate in the Champions League next season, while both Lille and Lyon will be featuring in the Europa League.
