AFC Bournemouth are pushing on a move for Ghanaian young attacker Edmund Baidoo. The 20-year-old Ghanaian forward currently at Red Bull Salzburg, as the window moves into its final hours, sportsworldghana.com can exclusively report.
Baidoo has 5 goals and 2 assists in 16 league games this season and has already shown his quality in Europe, registering an assist against Aston Villa in the Europa League. Quick, direct and well suited to transition play, he’s a profile Bournemouth are giving serious consideration to.
With Antoine Semenyo’s transfer to Manchester City, Bournemouth are looking forward to securing the signature of the talented Ghanaian international to strenghten their attacking options.
The the 19-year-old has also been linked with Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and VfB Stuttgart, as clubs across Europe continue to monitor his rapid development. Stuttgart are understood to have made direct inquiries to gather information on the forward, although a move during the winter window was considered unlikely.
RB Salzburg, however, remain in a strong negotiating position. The Ghanaian striker is under contract with the Austrian champions until 2029 and does not have any known release clause, giving the club significant leverage in any potential transfer talks.
Baidoo joined Salzburg from Norwegian side Sogndal in August 2024 for a reported fee of €3.3 million. His rapid rise saw reports emerge in October 2025 of a €6 million offer from Borussia Dortmund, highlighting how quickly his value has grown.
According to Transfermarkt, Baidoo’s current market value stands at €6 million, with his performances suggesting that figure could rise further if his fine form continues.
