Franck Kessié is once again in the spotlight of the international market. The Ivorian midfielder, currently focused on his national team at the Africa Cup of Nations, is seriously reconsidering his future away from Arab football and is being linked to Juventus in Turin.

His experience in Saudi Arabia has not lived up to the sporting expectations he had when he accepted the challenge. Although his role has been significant on the field, the competitive context and day-to-day life have not entirely convinced him.

Franck Kessié and doubts at Al Ahli

Since joining Al Ahli, Franck Kessié has delivered in terms of performance, but he feels that his career needs a new boost. At 27 years old, he believes he is still in his prime to compete at the highest level in Europe.

The Saudi club is preparing new market moves and aims to strengthen its squad with more key names. However, the Ivorian is not certain that this project aligns with his current sporting ambitions. The possibility of an early contract termination is gaining strength within his circle, the only scenario that would allow his return to European football on favorable terms.

Juventus goes for Kessié

Juventus in Turin, attentive to the situation

Juventus in Turin emerges as one of the best-positioned clubs if Franck Kessié manages to sever ties. In Turin, they value his previous experience in Italy, his dominant physique, and his ability to provide balance and support from the second line.

The Bianconeri seek to reinforce the midfield with an established profile but are not considering major investments. Hence, a cost-free transfer would be key for the operation to progress.

A highly conditional return to Europe

Franck Kessié himself is clear that he will not leave at any price or accept a temporary loan. His priority is to regain prominence in a competitive league and feel important in a solid project.

The midfielder is currently at the Africa Cup of Nations and is becoming one of the key players for his national team, as well as for his team in Saudi Arabia. The future of the operation relies on the midfielder agreeing to lower his salary.
