In a major development that promises to reshape the future of Saikouba Jarju, one of the brightest young talents in African football, Turkish Süper Lig club Samsunspor is currently in advanced talks with Hart FC to secure his transfer, Footy-Africa exclusively reports.
This move marks a significant milestone for Jarju, as it would be his first-ever transfer to a European club.
The transfer, which is still in the negotiation stages, is expected to be finalized by the end of this month. According to Bakary Baldeh, the president of Jarju’s current club, the discussions are progressing smoothly, and a deal could be officially wrapped up soon.
“The negotiations are ongoing. Possibly, by the end of this month, we will finalise everything,” he confirmed talking exclusively to Footy-Africa.
For the 17-year-old Saikouba Jarju, this potential move to Europe represents the next step in his promising career. Born and raised in Africa, Jarju has already captured the attention of several European clubs with his standout performances. Known for his technical skills, vision on the ball, and sharp footballing intelligence, the young midfielder has been a key player for Hart FC, and his impressive form has drawn the eyes of scouts across the continent.
Jarju’s potential move to Samsunspor, a club with a rich history in Turkish football, could be a game-changer for the player. Upon finalizing the transfer, Jarju will sign his contract once he turns 18 later this month. This timing is crucial, as many countries’ football regulations require players to be at least 18 to sign professional contracts in Europe.
