In the 2023-2024 season, Edjouma was loaned to Bari in Serie B, but the Italian club eventually chose not to activate the clause for a permanent transfer. Following his loan period, Edjouma went back to FC Botoșani, where a spot in the midfield had opened up due to Alexandru Albu's departure. The club's owner, Valeriu Iftime, noted that internal conflicts within the team had led to Albu's exit and had initiated the re-opening of negotiations for Edjouma's return. Iftime indicated a renewed interest in acquiring Edjouma to address the midfield vacancy left by Albu, emphasizing the player's prior experience and potential value to the team.
