"Napoli is interested in Bailey, the player, but Genk demands a substantial fee for his transfer."

In the approaching transfer window, speculation surrounds the potential role of Leon Bailey at his current club, Genk. The Belgian side values Bailey at a market price of 20 million euros, a figure that Genk hopes to realise in any potential sale.

Federico Avellino, a prosecutor, discussed Bailey's potential role during his last year at Genk on the Radio CRC show "Si gonfia la rete." Despite Bailey's characteristics not traditionally fitting the role, Genk is open to the idea of him playing as a central striker. This versatility, combined with his speed and left-footedness, could appeal to potential suitors.

Bailey has been a starter for Genk for three consecutive years, playing primarily as a right winger. However, his versatility allows him to also excel on the left wing or behind the center forward. This adaptability has been key to his success at Genk, where he has established himself as a crucial player.

Recent reports suggest that Bailey's next employer will be AS Roma, with a loan agreement that includes a purchase option from Aston Villa. However, the specific transfer fee for his commitment has not been disclosed.

As the transfer window progresses, it remains to be seen whether Bailey will stay at Genk or move on to pastures new. One thing is certain, Genk is aiming to maximise their profit from the sale of Bailey, ensuring they get the best possible deal for their prized asset.
