Following earlier links to Roma, Juventus has now emerged as a potential destination for former Milan midfielder Franck Kessie, who currently plays for Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia.
Reports suggest that the Ivory Coast international is keen on returning to Serie A, where he previously played for Atalanta and Milan. While initial rumors connected Kessie to Roma due to his past experience with coach Gian Piero Gasperini at Atalanta, those discussions did not advance significantly.
Kessie`s Potential Serie A Comeback
According to recent reports, Juventus is closely monitoring Kessie`s situation and may present an offer during the upcoming summer transfer window. The midfielder joined Al-Ahli from Barcelona for €12.5 million in August 2023, but with his contract set to expire in June 2026, he could now be available at a more attractive price.
Juventus, already engaged in negotiations to move Nico Gonzalez to the Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli, might consider including him as part of a potential exchange deal for Kessie. This strategy could facilitate Kessie`s return to Italian football while also addressing Juventus` transfer objectives.
