Olympique de Marseille has some gems within its squad. And one of them arouses the desire of several European clubs.
Mercato OM: Darryl Bakola, a highly coveted Marseille nugget
At the start of 2024, Olympique de Marseille is faced with the temporary departure of five of its African internationals due to the African Cup of Nations (CAN). Among them are key players like Azzedine Ounahi, Amine Harit, Ismaïla Sarr, Iliman Ndiaye and Chancel Mbemba. Faced with these temporary absences, OM is seeking to strengthen its workforce during this winter transfer window in order to maintain a high level of competitiveness.
At the same time, young people from the training center are offered the opportunity to find a place within the team trained by Gennaro Gattuso. Three of them, Enzo Sternal, Gaël Lafont and Darryl Bakola, are even already training with the professional team. Darryl Bakola, in particular, has a very good rating on the transfer market. Indeed, according to several local media, the promising profile of the 16-year-old midfielder has attracted the attention of several major European clubs. In search of young talents with high potential, Paris Saint-Gezrmain and Olympique Lyonnais are cited among its potential suitors.
Pablo Longoria hopes to keep Darryl Bakola
Author of 5 goals in 15 matches with the OM reserve, Darryl Bakola is considered one of the greatest promises of the Marseille central team. His technicality and his ability to play as a sentry or relay midfielder make him a coveted target. David Friio, a former member of the OM management who recently joined Olympique Lyonnais, knows Bakola well. He would therefore consider convincing the young midfielder to take the plunge by signing for Lyon.
Undisclosed foreign clubs are also said to be on the trail of the young talent. However, the club chaired by Pablo Longoria does not intend to lose its young talent, even if the fear of its possible departure is still present internally. Darry Bakola has still not signed his first professional contract with his training club, which leaves a chance for courtiers to interfere in this matter.
