Darian Males, born 3 May 2001 (age 25), is a Swiss central attacking midfielder with Young Boys, where he wears the No 39 shirt. His current market value is around £2m, according to Transfermarkt.
He came through at Luzern before Inter Milan took him to Italy in 2020. That move sent him into the loan circuit rather than straight into a settled first-team role, with spells at Genoa and then Basel giving him the sort of senior football young players generally need more than a badge on the training kit.
The Basel spell was the more useful part of that early development, bringing him back into the Swiss game and giving him regular minutes in an attacking role. Young Boys later became the next step, first as part of that post-Inter route and then as his established club.
His most productive league season came in 2025-26, when he scored seven goals in 30 league appearances for Young Boys. In 2026-27, he has made seven Europa League appearances and scored once in the competition, with two goals in seven appearances across all competitions for the club.
Males’ career has been shaped by an early move abroad, a run of loans, and a return to firmer ground in Switzerland. At Young Boys, he is now an established professional rather than a developing name being judged on promise alone.
