He was one of the curiosities of the 2025-2026 Marseille season. Never a starter in Ligue 1, midfielder Darryl Bakola was thrown into the deep end by Roberto De Zerbi in the Champions League, against Newcastle. With a successful performance and a decisive pass for Aubameyang. Unfortunately, this beautiful evening did not result in a great story with OM. The contract extension desired by OM took too long and it was decided to sell him in January 2026, when Sassuolo offered €10 million + €2 million bonus. Now Bakola is worth triple that.
According to the Corriere dello Sportit is estimated at €30 million by the Italian club, whose former CEO moved to Juventus Turin. This is Giovanni Carnevali, who reinforced the work of supervising players within the Old Lady. And the Italian media ensures that Darryl Bakola is well placed in the list of midfielders who appeal to Juventus. He is also followed by AS Roma, and several English clubs frequently come to supervise him, while the young 18-year-old player has had a convincing start to the season.
