Koffi Djidji, who previously played for Torino, is now a free agent following his stint with the club. With 126 appearances in Serie A, he is regarded by Bari as a valuable market opportunity as they aim to enhance their defense under coach Longo. Djidji is considered more than just an alternative to the existing starting trio of Pucino, Vicari, and Mantovani. Bari is actively pursuing options to strengthen their defensive lineup in the January transfer window, and Djidji is reportedly at the top of their list, according to Corriere del Mezzogiorno. While his acquisition is not deemed essential, Djidji is viewed as a strategic opportunity for Bari, particularly with Emmanuele Matino currently sidelined due to injury.
