The Juventus of Turin has begun procedures to incorporate a midfielder in the winter transfer market at the request of Luciano Spalletti, who aims to win Serie A.

As revealed by Corriere dello Sport on September 25, 2026, the Turin board prioritizes French Darryl Bakola, 18 years old. They are also actively monitoring Gabriel Bontempo, Darryl Bakola, Breno Bidon, Matheus Martinelli, and André with personal visits in Brazil.

Darryl Bakola leads Juventus' preferences in Serie A

The French midfielder, 18 years old, plays for Sassuolo since his arrival in January, accumulating nearly 400 minutes of official play at the beginning of the championship. The player is under contract until June 2030, and the Neroverdi board demands a transfer fee over 30 million euros, facing competition from several Premier League clubs.

Due to the high cost of the Sassuolo midfielder, the Bianconeri technical department has dispatched scouts to South American football to analyze economically favorable young profiles.

The four alternatives identified in the Brazilian market

Among the substitutes, Breno Bidon stands out, a 21-year-old midfielder from Corinthians with an Italian passport, valued at 22.00 million euros by Transfermarkt. He has played 25 matches, scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist in the 2025-2026 Serie A season, monitored by Atalanta, Beşiktaş, and Arsenal. His contract with the São Paulo team runs until December 2029.

Juventus' list includes his teammate André, 20 years old (Corinthians); Gabriel Bontempo, a 21-year-old midfielder from Santos; and Matheus Martinelli, 24 years old, a regular at Fluminense. Juventus' scouts will conclude their tour of South America by late October 2026.

Juventus' board will hold a meeting with Luciano Spalletti in November to decide whether to make a significant offer for any of the five options, considering that Bakola is their top choice at the moment.
