Mitchel Baker Bakker transfer saga

In mid‑July 2026, Scottish club Celtic signalled a strong interest in Dutch left‑back Mitchel Bakker, who is on Atalanta’s books but deemed surplus after limited playing time following a cruciate‑ligament injury. Atalanta have priced him at about €2.5 million and the player’s contract runs until June 2027, with Celtic competing against clubs from Italy, Turkey and France. A week later, Olympique de Marseille’s new coach Bruno Genesio also identified Bakker as a priority target to bolster the right‑back position. Genesio described the defender as a cost‑effective option, noting previous working relations with Lille, and said the club would continue scouting for a right‑winger as well, mentioning American winger Timothy Weah as a possible candidate. Both clubs remain in early‑stage negotiations, and Bakker’s personal preference will influence his eventual destination.
