Mohamed Bayo attracts interest

Guinean international Mohamed Bayo is enjoying a career resurgence in Turkey, with his outstanding form at Gaziantep FK putting him firmly on the radar of several European clubs ahead of the summer transfer window.

The 26-year-old striker, currently on loan from Lille, has been in scintillating form in the Super Lig, registering 14 goals and three assists in 27 appearances this season. His sharp finishing and renewed confidence in front of goal have made him one of the standout attacking performers in Turkey.

Bayo’s revival comes at a crucial stage in his career, with his performances drawing attention from across Europe. Originally seen as a talented but inconsistent forward in France, the Guinean has rediscovered his rhythm in Gaziantep colours, becoming a key figure in their attacking system.

His loan deal reportedly includes an option to buy, but with growing interest from abroad, Gaziantep may face a tough decision in the coming months.

In Turkey, two of the country’s biggest clubs—Fenerbahçe SK and Beşiktaş JK are said to be monitoring the situation closely. Both Istanbul giants are understood to be impressed by his scoring form and see him as a potential addition to strengthen their attacking options.

Interest, however, is not limited to Turkey. In Germany, Bundesliga sides VfB Stuttgart and SC Freiburg are reportedly keeping tabs on the striker, viewing him as a possible cost-effective attacking reinforcement with top-flight experience.

Elsewhere in Europe, Serie A club Lazio and La Liga side RC Celta have also entered the conversation, further underlining the scale of interest building around the Guinean forward.

For Bayo, the situation presents a significant turning point. After spells of inconsistency earlier in his career, his loan spell in Turkey has restored his reputation as a reliable goal scorer capable of performing in competitive European leagues.

With multiple clubs now tracking his progress, the summer transfer window could become a decisive moment in his career, especially if Gaziantep opt against activating their purchase option.
