Juventus, Roma and Premier League clubs eye Sassuolo midfielder Darryl Bakola

Juventus are reportedly keen to sign US Sassuolo’s Darryl Bakola (18), according to the information of the Corriere dello Sport.

AS Roma, along with several Premier League clubs, are also said to have put the young French midfielder on their radar with a view to a potential future transfer. Under contract with the Neroverdi until 2030, the 18-year-old is reportedly valued at around €30m.

Having joined the Olympique de Marseille academy in the summer of 2022, the Clichy-born player – from the Parisian suburbs – was never given the opportunity to prove himself in the first team, having made 12 appearances (one assist) there before his move to Italy last winter.

Transferred to Sassuolo for a fee of around €10m, Bakola had a mixed start to life at the club before really making his mark at the start of the 2026-27 season, during which he started four of his six appearances across all competitions.
