Overview
- L'Équipe reports Frankfurt is closely scouting Bakola and a winter signing is viewed as possible.
- Marseille has opened talks to lengthen a deal that already runs to 2027, yet the player is hesitating as he prioritizes sporting opportunity over an estimated €35,000 gross monthly salary.
- Bakola has played just 24 minutes across five brief Ligue 1 appearances and sits low in the club’s midfield pecking order.
- Coach Roberto De Zerbi says the teenager can fill multiple roles but stresses caution in introducing young players, and OM is evaluating adding another midfielder in January.
- Other clubs are also monitoring the situation, and Frankfurt’s recent success with young French talents underpins its interest.
