Leaving: Lille
Age: 26
Position: Winger

Jonathan Bamba was hardly alone in experiencing a drop-off after Lille's sensational title snatch in 2021. However, the 26-year-old has rediscovered his best form for Les Dogues this term, averaging a goal or assist every other game.

Atalanta and Fiorentina - two Italian clubs that have made a habit of snapping up hidden gems in the market - are interested in Bamba.
