The race is heating up for in-form striker Mohamed Bayo, as Bundesliga duo VfB Stuttgart and SC Freiburg join a growing list of European suitors for the on-loan Lille forward, according to Foot Mercato.

After a challenging spell at Lille, the 27-year-old Guinea international has rediscovered his scoring touch during his loan at Turkish Süper Lig side Gaziantep FK. With 14 goals in 30 appearances for the 11th-placed team, Bayo is once again looking like the clinical marksman who once commanded a €14 million transfer fee.

Standing at 1.87 meters tall and favoring his right foot, the powerful striker offers the kind of physical presence and finishing ability that could make him a valuable asset for any top-flight club. Gaziantep are expected to activate their €4 million purchase option this summer, but that move is widely seen as a strategic step to sell him on at a profit.

Beyond the Bundesliga interest, Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş, Lazio Rome, and Celta Vigo are all monitoring the situation, setting the stage for a competitive transfer battle. For Stuttgart and Freiburg, securing a proven goal-scorer like Bayo could provide the attacking boost needed to push for higher finishes in the German top flight.
