Juventus Targets Sassuolo’s Daryl Bakola Amid Injury Concerns
Serie A club Juventus is facing significant injuries in their midfield this season, prompting urgent attention to various areas of their squad. The club is reportedly targeting Sassuolo’s promising teenager, Daryl Bakola, as a strategic addition to their roster.
According to a report by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Giovanni Carnevali, instrumental in Bakola’s transfer to Sassuolo from Marseille, is prepared to make an offer between €25 million and €30 million for the young talent.
Juventus aims to secure Bakola to preempt potential interest from Premier League teams, having previously lost out on targets such as Riccardo Calafiori and Marco Palestra to English clubs.
The plan is for Juventus to finalize the deal in January while allowing Bakola to continue his development at Sassuolo on loan until the summer. This approach aims to provide immediate benefits by nurturing Bakola’s talents before his permanent move to Juventus, while also encouraging Sassuolo to consider an early sale and fend off competition as the interest in Bakola escalates.
