Johan Bakayoko is the player that Liverpool wants to sign.

Johan Bakayoko, a winger for PSV Eindhoven, is a 20-year-old who Liverpool is looking to sign.

Voetbalkrant said that Liverpool is eager to have Johan Bakayoko join their team. With his amazing performances, the 20-year-old prodigy has been a revelation for PSV Eindhoven, drawing curiosity from all around Europe.

Bakayoko is only 20 years old, but already he has a considerable reputation. He has nine appearances for the Belgian national team in addition to being a regular at the Dutch club.

The former PSV player has made appearances in 33 games so far this season, helping to contribute to 19 goals. Along with six goals, he has totaled 13 assists. His performances have not gone unnoticed, as he is being pursued by several elite clubs from throughout Europe.

Even though he has a contract with the Dutch team that expires in the summer of 2026, he might not stay with the team after that. Ernie Stewart, the sporting director of PSV, stated lately that he does envision the 20-year-old playing for them in the upcoming campaign.

Throughout the previous two transfer windows, they have performed remarkably well to keep him at the club. Clubs were eager to sign him in the winter, just like they were last summer, but PSV was able to cling onto their hero. The player himself desired to continue on till the finish of the campaign.

However, it isn’t going to happen in the summer, and his departure is all but certain. Bayern Munich, PSG, and Manchester City are the teams connected to the 20-year-old. Given his potential, a number of other clubs might be eager to go forward as well.

Among the teams who are taking their pursuit of the Belgian international very seriously is Liverpool. The Reds want to strengthen their right side. Mohamed Salah is nearing the end of his career, and with Saudi Arabia showing such interest in him, he might potentially be traded this summer.

Bakayoko has the potential to be a fantastic asset to their team and eventually establish himself as a mainstay. The Merseyside club will have to pay a hefty fee to recruit the PSV star in addition to competing against other teams. Right now, his worth is estimated at €40 million, and the Dutch will only let him to depart for a significantly larger sum.
