Swiss Super League side Basel are reportedly close to a deal for Senegal-Italy left winger Asane Sow, who currently plays for Italian Serie C club Pro Vercelli.
The 20-year-old, valued at €175k on Transfermarkt, has been heavily linked with a switch from Pro Vercelli to Basel, with the rumoured probability of the move rated at 92% as of 13 June 2026. The transfer is still at the speculation stage, but the level of interest suggests talks are advanced.
Sow, born on 2 May 2006 in Seriate, holds both Senegalese and Italian nationality and operates primarily as an attacking left winger, cutting in from the flank onto his right foot. He wears the No 11 shirt for Pro Vercelli and has been registered with the club’s senior set-up as FC Pro Vercelli 1892, competing in Serie C – Girone A.
Details of Sow’s current contract at Pro Vercelli have not been made public, with no official expiry date listed. That uncertainty has fuelled suggestions he could become available as a free agent or at a reduced fee if his deal is close to running down or on short terms, a situation Basel are thought to be monitoring closely.
Recent performances in Italy’s third tier have underlined his potential, with the youngster featuring regularly in Pro Vercelli’s campaign, though full statistical breakdowns for the current season are not yet officially compiled. His development as a versatile wide attacker has reportedly attracted scouting attention beyond Serie C.
Standing out as a right-footed left winger with dual nationality, Sow fits the profile of a resale‑friendly project often targeted by clubs such as Basel, who have a track record of polishing young talents for higher levels.
If completed, a move to the Swiss Super League could offer Sow a significant platform in European football and may prove a pivotal step in shaping both his reputation and long‑term career trajectory.
