Juventus and Roma express interest in Black Stars defender Derrick Kohn

Derrick Kohn has attracted the attention of Italian giants AS Roma and Juventus, who are reportedly tracking the 27-year-old left-back from Union Berlin.

According to Bild, both Serie A clubs have him on their radar, even though he remains under contract with Union until 2029, giving the Bundesliga side a strong position at the negotiating table.

Under coach Steffen Baumgart, Kohn has become a regular feature on the flank and is viewed as a reliable part of the squad structure.

In the current Bundesliga season, he has made 25 appearances, contributing one goal and one assist, numbers that underline his steady influence rather than headline-grabbing brilliance.

The growing interest from Italy highlights how far the left-footer has come in recent years, especially after impressing on the international stage with Ghana.

Whether this fascination turns into a concrete transfer bid in the summer remains open, as there have been no formal steps yet.

For now, Kohn’s future is still in Berlin, but the links to Roma and Juve suggest his performances are being noticed well beyond the Bundesliga.
