liverpool And Manchester City Lens could be tempted by the signing of Samson Baidu, whose stock is rising in France.
The centre-back has played 21 times in Ligue 1 this season, logging almost 2000 minutes in all competitions.
He had been missing in recent weeks with a hamstring injury but has now returned to the squad. He came off the bench against Brest a week ago but recently started against Nice and played a part in the 1–1 draw.
sports witness Aston Villa's interest in the talent has been covered, with the Villans already making a move for him. Baidu is believed to have a number of attractive scouts, with Juventus also a potential suitor.
Baidu's future is uncertain
alljuve Report that the centre-back is one of the most interesting young players in Europe at present. While this is a clear attempt to promote the player, he believes Baidu's future in the lens is becoming increasingly uncertain.
It seems likely he will leave in the summer, with Juventus trying to increase contact for his signature. The Italian side see him as one of their main targets for the summer but the task will not be easy.
Manchester City and Liverpool have been tracking Baidu 'for some time', with Inter Milan also interested.
As a result, the valuation of youth is likely to increase in the next few months. He is currently valued at €30m but this could increase as a result of involvement from English clubs.
This would marginalize Juve, giving the Premier League teams an advantage.
Our Opinion: The team is working to promote the player
Baidoo is currently represented by Sportcover, who also represent Juve players Jérémie Boga and Khefren Thuram. The Bianconeri are likely to make a deal with the squad in the summer. Boga will be signed permanently and will attempt to renew Thuram's contract.
Both Manchester City and Liverpool may also be in need of a centre-back in the summer. Both clubs are going through a period of change and the backline is one of the areas they are looking to add to.
The Lens defender may need another season in France but he is someone who is attracting a lot of attention.
