Mohamed Bayo is set to leave Lille permanently and will sign for Samsunspor this Saturday in a deal worth €1.5m. The agreement includes a clause for Lille to retain 25% of any future resale fee. Bayo's move follows three consecutive loan spells at Le Havre, Royal Antwerp, and Gaziantepspor. He will continue his career at Samsunspor after a successful final season in Turkey.

LOSC confirmed today the permanent transfer of Mohamed Bayo to Samsunspor in Turkey. LOSC wished him success for the remainder of his career.

Lille president Olivier Létang stated that four players, including 28-year-old Guinean centre-forward Mohamed Bayo, were likely to move for a permanent transfer. Létang also mentioned he was counting on countries where the transfer window remained open, such as Turkey. Bayo, who arrived at Lille from Clermont in the summer of 2022 for €14 million and did not establish himself, is expected to join Samsunspor. An agreement was reached this morning between LOSC and Samsunspor. Bayo has 29 caps for Guinea and has made no appearances for Lille in the 2025/2026 Ligue 1 season. He will depart from LOSC with one year left on his contract. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €4.50m. The player had also been linked with other Turkish clubs, including Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe. A formal offer of €7 million was reportedly made to Lille by an unnamed club in March 2026. In May 2026, reports indicated a €4 million purchase option was held by Gaziantep FK.
