Mohamed Bayo is considering a departure due to inconsistent playtime at LOSC Lille. Royal Antwerp is one of the clubs interested in acquiring him. Despite being under contract until June 2027, Lille is hesitant to let him go during the winter transfer window due to an injury to another striker, Matias Fernandez-Pardo, and potential developments with Jonathan David.

Mohamed Bayo, who has made 15 appearances and scored 2 goals this season, has experienced limited playing time recently. He was notably absent from the squad for the match against FC Nantes. Royal Antwerp, currently positioned fourth in the Belgian Championship with Marc Overmars serving as the sporting director, has expressed interest in acquiring Bayo. It is possible that a loan deal with an option to buy could be arranged. The 26-year-old forward, who remains under contract until 2027, might leave Lille by the end of the month. Antwerp is actively pursuing an offensive player, positioning Bayo as a prime target for their winter transfer strategy.
