SC Freiburg is one of several clubs interested in Mohamed Bayo, a 27-year-old striker currently on loan at Gaziantep FK from OSC Lille. VfB Stuttgart, Fenerbahce, Besiktas, Lazio Rom, and Celta Vigo are also listed as interested clubs in the Guinea international. Bayo has scored 14 goals in 30 matches for the Turkish side. The loan agreement includes a purchase option for four million euros, which Gaziantep FK is expected to exercise with the goal of reselling the player for a profit. Lille had paid 14 million euros for Bayo in 2022. The forward has 29 caps and 8 goals for his country, and his contract with Lille runs until June 2027. His current Transfermarkt market value is €4 million. In March 2026, an unnamed club reportedly made a formal offer of €7 million to Lille.
