Bakola struggled for regular playing time last season but has emerged as an exciting prospect this campaign, with his display against Juventus particularly catching the eye.
Carnevali’s strong relationship with Sassuolo could help negotiations, while Juventus are keen to move quickly to avoid competition from Premier League clubs.
Vasilije Adzic could also prove important to any potential agreement. The Juventus youngster is currently thriving on loan at Sassuolo, strengthening relations between the clubs.
