Mohamed Bakayoko has completed a move from Ghanaian side EurAfrica FC to Romanian club Viitorul Arad, signing a contract that begins on 2026-02-11 and runs until 2026-02-11. The 19-year-old left winger leaves his home country to continue his development in Romania, with the transfer officially confirmed between the two clubs.
The deal sees Bakayoko swap a Ghana-based setup for a new chapter in Eastern Europe, joining Viitorul Arad in time for the 2025/26 campaign. The transfer is listed without a disclosed fee, and no contractual extension beyond 2026-02-11 is currently recorded, leaving the theoretical possibility that the player could become a free agent once this agreement ends if no new deal is signed.
Bakayoko arrives in Romania as a Ghanaian youth talent whose main position is on the left side of attack. Born in Accra on 18 October 2006, he comes through EurAfrica FC, a club known for developing young players in Ghana, and now takes his first step into European club football with Viitorul Arad. According to the available data, he is primarily deployed as an attacking left winger, with his profile built around contributing in the final third from wide areas.
This transfer also marks a significant change of environment for the teenager. Having been based entirely in Ghana at EurAfrica FC prior to this deal, Bakayoko will now be playing abroad in Romania, entering a very different football culture and league structure. While the domestic competitions for both EurAfrica FC and Viitorul Arad are listed as “N/A” in the data, the move clearly represents a shift from Ghanaian football to the Romanian game.
No official market value is recorded for Bakayoko at the time of the transfer, and the fee is registered only as “?”, underlining that financial terms have not been made public. There are no documented senior statistics, appearances, recent match performances, or goal contributions available in the supplied data, meaning his impact so far has been tracked more in terms of potential than established output.
Internationally, Bakayoko is identified with Ghana and has not been listed with any dual nationality. At club level, he now belongs entirely to Viitorul Arad, with EurAfrica FC the only previous club recorded in his career history. There are no indications of prior loans, other leagues, or additional teams in his pathway.
With his contract start and end both recorded as 2026-02-11, the move is officially confirmed but also framed within a very narrow contractual window. Unless further terms are agreed and updated, Bakayoko could quickly face a decision over his future beyond that date, either extending his stay in Romania or assessing other options, including a potential return to Ghana or another move abroad.
For now, the confirmed transfer gives the 19-year-old winger the platform to test himself in a new country, adapt to European football, and attempt to convert his promise at EurAfrica FC into a more established professional profile at Viitorul Arad. How he handles this first step outside Ghana will go a long way in shaping the next phase of his career.
