At the end of the winter break, Number 1 is scanning the market in search of reinforcements and, above all, good opportunities at limited cost.
Despite its very tight budget, Antwerp does not intend to remain inactive on the transfer market during this winter transfer window. Indeed, the Team announces that the Belgian club has expressed its interest in Mohamed Bayo.
The 26-year-old striker plays for Lille and has only played 15 matches since the start of the season. He scored twice, but does not seem to have a future with the Mastiffs. He is severely lacking in playing time and wasn’t even in the squad against FC Nantes last weekend.
This is enough to fuel rumors of a possible departure and Antwerp would be actively looking for reinforcements to strengthen its attack. The club is currently fourth in the Jupiler Pro League and wants to expand its squad to aim higher this season.
A loan with a purchase option is mentioned as a viable solution. According to L’Equipe, the Guinean international would be an interesting option with his experience in Ligue 1 and his scoring qualities, he can bring the additional dimension that Antwerp needs.
Born in Clermont-Ferrand, the striker played for Clermont Foot and Dunkerque before joining LOSC in 2022. Loaned to Le Havre last season (5 goals), he returned to Lille where he no longer seems to have a future. .
