This comes after sources indicated that Bayer Leverkusen have reached personal teams with Johan Bakayoko to sign him this summer.

Although there is that agreement with the player, it has now come to light that Leverkusen are far behind when it comes to talks with PSV.

If Leipzig are able to reach an agreement with PSV in the coming days, the club will seal the signing of Bakayoko.
