Leverkusen to offload Bakker to make room for Gosens?
Does Bayer Leverkusen's pursuit of Robin Gosens mean that Mitchel Bakker will leave the club?
As reported yesterday, Bayer Leverkusen could offload Mitchel Bakker to free up funds and make room for Robin Gosens.
As reported by multiple sources on Tuesday evening, Leverkusen are looking into the possibility of bringing Gosens back to Germany from Inter.
22-year-old Bakker has struggled to nail down a starting berth this season, and the arrival of Gosens wouldn't make his situation easier by any means, with Piero Hincapié and Daley Sinkgraven also competing for the left-back spot.
Inter have probably been offered Bakker in the negotiations for Gosens, but whether the player is interesting for the Italians is doubtful, with VfB Stuttgart's Borna Sosa said to be their priority.
There is also a possibility that Bakker will move to another club. Newcastle United, for example, showed interest in the Dutch left-back in January.
