Johan Bakayoko will not be travelling with PSV to the training camp in Germany due to transfer speculation. Luuk de Jong will also be absent.
Several clubs have approached PSV for Bakayoko, who still has one year of his contract remaining in Eindhoven. The winger is highly sought after and is expected to earn at least 20 million euros. Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig, Nottingham Forest, and Bournemouth, among others, are all eyeing Bakayoko.
German sources reported last weekend that Leverkusen are the best candidate to acquire Bakayoko, but Erik ten Hagโs new employer are in danger of being outmanoeuvred by RB Leipzig. With Ezechiel Banzuzi, Lutsharel Geertruida, and Xavi Simons, three former Eredivisie talents are already under contract with Die Roten Bullen.
Besides Bakayoko, Luuk de Jong is also absent from PSVโs Marienfeld six-day training camp. The club icon showed up at De Herdgang last week and trained individually. It remains unclear whether De Jong, who has been a free agent since July 1st, will commit his future to PSV or embark on a foreign adventure.
