Gambian international midfielder Ebrima Darboe is on the verge of completing a move from Italian Serie A side AS Roma to Bari, with negotiations reported to be in the advanced stage, Footy-Africa can exclusively confirm.
According to Footy-Africa’s information, the deal, once finalized, will see the 23-year-old join the Serie B outfit on a three-year permanent contract.
Darboe, who rose through Roma’s youth ranks and made his first-team debut in 2021 under then-coach Paulo Fonseca, has struggled to secure regular playing time with the Giallorossi in recent seasons. Despite his promising displays, injuries and stiff competition in the midfield limited his chances to establish himself as a consistent starter at the Stadio Olimpico.
The move to Bari is seen as an opportunity for Darboe to revive his career with a club that has ambitions of returning to the Italian top flight. The Gambian’s technical ability, composure on the ball, and vision in midfield could prove to be a vital asset as Bari looks to strengthen its squad for the new campaign.

For Darboe, the transfer also marks a fresh chapter in his professional journey. A regular feature for The Gambia national team, he will be hoping that increased playing time in Serie B will not only accelerate his development but also enhance his contributions to the Scorpions ahead of upcoming international fixtures.
Should the deal be finalized as expected, Darboe will officially end his association with AS Roma after nearly a decade at the club, beginning from the academy to the senior team. His switch to Bari represents a bold step toward securing consistent football and reaffirming his status as one of The Gambia’s most talented midfielders in Europe.
