Franck Kessié, a 29-year-old Ivorian midfielder, has prioritized becoming a signing for Juventus of Turin in order to return to Italy and is negotiating his incorporation as a free agent. The club is working to finalize the agreement in the next few hours with a contract of two seasons plus an optional third, while Roma continues to try to get ahead.

Juventus held a meeting on Thursday with the player's representatives in Milan, with Frederic Massara present on behalf of the club. Contacts continued afterward without all the economic terms being finalized yet.

Franck Kessié prioritizes his return to Juventus of Turin

Franck Kessié's intention is to return to Serie A after his spell at Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia. Juventus has been working for several weeks on his incorporation and has the advantage of being the midfielder's preferred destination at the moment.

The Juventus proposal includes a two-year contract and an option for a third season. The latest reports in Italy place the offered salary at 3.5 million euros net per season, although during negotiations figures close to 4.5 million plus variables were also discussed.

The main point yet to be resolved relates to the complementary economic conditions of the agreement. Kessié aims to receive a signing bonus upon joining, while Juventus proposes to link that expense to the potential activation of the third year of the contract.

The operation has also been conditioned by the club's financial accounts. Initially, there was a consideration to sell Jonathan David to generate salary space, but the sports management has decided to proceed with Kessié without necessarily waiting for that departure to be completed.

Luciano Spalletti intervenes to convince Kessié

Luciano Spalletti is directly involved in the operation. The coach personally spoke with Franck Kessié, as did Massara, to explain to him the role he would have in the squad and expedite an incorporation requested to strengthen the midfield.

The coach wants to add experience to a midfield that could still see movements before the end of the market. Kessié also knows the Serie A from his spells at Atalanta and AC Milan, the club with which he won the Italian championship in 2022.

The main threat comes from Roma. The team led by Gian Piero Gasperini met with the player's entourage at a hotel in the Italian capital and presented its own proposal. Gasperini is familiar with the player after having worked with him during his time at Atalanta.

This move prompted Juventus to speed up negotiations that until then had been conditioned by possible sales. Roma maintains a financially competitive offer and aims to capitalize on any disagreement between the player and the Turin team.

The next few hours will determine the outcome. Franck Kessié keeps Juventus of Turin as his first choice, but the signing bonus difference still needs to be settled. New contacts are scheduled to try to reach an agreement and prevent Roma from changing the Ivorian's destination in his return to Serie A.
