AS Roma is fighting Juventus for exciting young midfielder | OneFootball

Darryl Bakola is one of the most exciting youngsters in Serie A at the moment, and he could become the next player to join Juventus from Sassuolo if he continues to develop well. The midfielder has already attracted attention with his performances and could be an important target for the Bianconeri.

When Juventus faced Sassuolo in the league this season, Bakola had an opportunity to show what he could do, and he took it. He made a major contribution to one of the goals in their 3-2 victory, further highlighting the qualities that have made him an exciting prospect.

Juventus keeping an eye on Bakola

Bakola has remained one of the best young names in the game among his age group, and Juventus continue to demonstrate that they can attract some of the most promising talents available. The Bianconeri have a strong record of bringing young players into their squad.

The midfielder has performed well whenever he has played, and his displays for Sassuolo have continued to attract interest. Juventus are clearly keeping an eye on his development as they consider whether he could become their next signing from the club.

However, the Bianconeri are not the only club interested in Bakola. Calciomercato reports that the midfielder is also being followed by AS Roma, giving Juventus competition for his signature if they decide to make a move.

Roma also interested in midfielder

Gian Piero Gasperini’s side is flying high in Serie A this season, and they are expected to back their manager with the players he wants. That could put Roma in a strong position to compete for Bakola if they decide that the 18-year-old old midfielder fits their plans.

The teenager still needs more time to develop, but his performances have already shown why he is attracting attention from major clubs. Juventus will continue to monitor his progress as they assess whether he is ready for the next step.

In recent seasons, Juve have shown a willingness to sign teenagers who are good enough, provided they have matured sufficiently and gained experience with a senior team. Bakola’s continued development could therefore determine whether Juventus decide to make their interest concrete and pursue a move for the Sassuolo youngster.
