Mitchel Bakker, 24, is set to join Lille OSC on loan from Atalanta Bergamo, according to De Telegraaf. The former PSG player struggled for game time at Atalanta. Lille, facing Feyenoord in the Champions League, will finalize the deal with a medical exam on Friday before the transfer window closes.

Mitchel Bakker, the 24-year-old wing-back, is leaving Atalanta Bergamo temporarily for a loan period at Lille OSC, according to De Telegraaf. Bakker, who played for Paris Saint-Germain between 2019 and 2021, did not succeed in becoming a permanent starter at Atalanta. Consequently, all parties sought a solution. Lille, an opponent of Feyenoord in the Champions League group stage, provides the solution by taking Bakker on loan for one season from the Italian club. This Friday, Bakker, who is on his way to France, will undergo a medical examination by Lille. The transfer window in Italy and France closes on the night of Friday to Saturday, necessitating some urgency to finalize the loan deal.

Mitchel Bakker can leave Atalanta Bergamo on loan. Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Lille OSC is interested in temporarily acquiring the Dutch left-back. Lille is hoping for a loan agreement for the Dutch defender. Bakker has a contract until mid-2027 in Serie A. It is unknown if Lille also hopes to secure a purchase option.

Mitchel Bakker, acquired for 10 million EUR from Bayer Leverkusen a year ago, has only played 22 times and has disappointed the expectations of coach Gasperini. Despite this, no suitors have come forward for Bakker, who is now valued at just over 6 million EUR and risks spending another season on the bench, further devaluing.
