De Telegraaf: Marseille, Lyon and Lille compete for Mitchel Bakker

Atalanta left-back Mitchel Bakker is facing a return to Ligue 1. De Telegraaf knows that Marseille, Lyon, and Lille are all eyeing the Dutch defenderโ€™s signature. Bakker played for the latter club on loan last season.

The 24-year-old Bakker is under contract in Bergamo until the summer of 2027, but the chance that he will return to the Serie A club is small, according to De Telegraaf. He will probably stay in France.

Marseille, Lyon and Lille all want to sign him. For Lille, the former Ajax and Paris Saint-Germain player played 24 official matches last season, making a good impression with three goals and two assists.

The Lille board recently made it clear to Bakker that they would like to agree on a permanent deal with him. It is not known which club the left-footer prefers.

If he chooses Marseille, he will play in the Champions League next term. Lille and Lyon will be active in the Europa League in 2025-26.

It is not known exactly how much Bakker will cost.ย Transfermarktย estimates his current value at around seven million euros.ย
