According to Corriere dello Sport, Fiorentina is eyeing RB Leipzig winger Joã Bakayoko, but the transfer fee will be at least 20 million euros.
Bakayoko is a left-footed right winger born in 2003 with great speed and strong dribbling skills, making him one of the most promising U-23 wingers in Europe. Fiorentina is keen to strengthen their wing options at this stage, but the deal comes at a steep price. While Bakayoko is seeking more playing time and RB Leipzig is willing to sell, the asking price of at least 20 million euros is currently too high for Fiorentina unless it involves a loan deal.
Bakayoko has long been on Fiorentina's scouting radar. The Viola need a winger with his profile—or even more than one—because Fabio Grosso's squad currently lacks quality attacking wingers. These factors could push the deal forward, but complications remain, as the Red Bull system consistently demands premium prices and rarely offers discounts.
