After just one full season in Germany, Johan Bakayoko is free to leave RB Leipzig again if a suitable offer is received.

Italian source Corriere dello Sport believes that the Saxony-based club are demanding around €20million for the winger.

According to the report, AC Fiorentina are interested in the 23-year-old but cannot afford a transfer fee of that magnitude.

Instead, the Serie A club is pushing for a loan deal – whether Leipzig is considering such a scenario, however, remains unclear.

Bakayoko only joined Leipzig from PSV Eindhoven last summer for €18million, and initially made a promising start.

However, he soon struggled to get much playing time due to competition. The Belgian's contract runs until 2030.
