BVB in the race for Darryl Bakola – winter move on the cards | OneFootball

As things stand, Borussia Dortmund will start the new year with an unchanged squad at their training camp in Marbella, Spain. However, before the plane takes off for Spain, there could well be some movement in both directions on the now-open winter transfer market. Possibly even on the incoming side. Currently, BVB is being linked with Darryl Bakola from Olympique Marseille.

According to information from “fussballtransfers.com,” in addition to Eintracht Frankfurt, two other Bundesliga clubs—VfB Stuttgart and BVB—are now showing interest in Bakola, who is also reportedly on the radar of Chelsea FC, Arsenal FC, and Newcastle United.

OM does not want to lose Bakola on a free transfer

Marseille would like to keep the attacking midfielder, who has made seven substitute appearances in Ligue 1 this season and used his only start in the Champions League—during the 2-1 win over Newcastle—to provide an assist. Bakola’s current contract with OM runs until June 30, 2027, but the French top club wants to extend it soon to avoid the risk of losing another homegrown talent on a free transfer.

Marseille is apparently demanding a quick decision from Bakola. If the youngster does not accept the extension offer, a direct sale in the winter is also being considered as an option.
