Ebrima Darboe, a midfielder born in 2001, who has previously played in Serie B with Sampdoria and Frosinone, as well as with Lask Linz in Austria, is poised to join Bari. He will be transferring on a permanent basis, having signed a contract for the next three seasons. This transfer is a part of Bari's strategic initiative to strengthen their midfield, with advanced negotiations reportedly taking place between Bari and Roma, Darboe's parent club. In his recent tenures, Darboe scored two goals in 14 appearances for Sampdoria in the latter half of the 2023/24 season and netted two goals in 26 matches for Frosinone the previous year. Despite limited appearances in Austria, he continues to be regarded as a promising talent developed in Roma's youth academy, where he made 11 appearances for their first team. This acquisition is anticipated to significantly bolster Bari's squad.
