Juventus targets midfield reinforcements including Bakola and Doumbia

Juventus is actively pursuing several midfield targets to bolster its squad amid injury concerns involving players like Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram.

The club has initiated contact with Sassuolo regarding midfielder Darryl Bakola. The 2007-born French talent is valued at approximately 30 million euros, though Juventus may explore technical exchanges to lower the cost. The club is considering both a January move or securing him for the summer to avoid a bidding war.

Additionally, Juventus is monitoring Sporting CP's Issa Doumbia. The 22-year-old midfielder, who previously played for Venezia, is seen as a high-potential target, though his current valuation is high following Sporting's 20 million euro investment.

In the youth sector, Juventus is tracking 15-year-old Borussia Dortmund prospect Justin Ejodamen. The Italian-born midfielder, often compared to Jude Bellingham, has drawn interest from several major European clubs including Milan and Barcelona.
