According to credible sources, the prospect of seeing Franck Kessié at Juventus is gaining traction and could materialize during the January transfer window or, at the latest, in summer. Juventus has expressed strong interest in the former AC Milan midfielder, currently in Saudi Arabia. Since last year, Kessié has gained significant experience in the Saudi Pro League but now seems ready to return to Italy, where he left a lasting impression as a rossonero.
The Ivorian midfielder, aged 29, despite his condition possibly having changed since leaving Milan, has had preliminary talks with Juventus regarding a transfer that could prove advantageous for both parties. The team is currently in need of reinforcements in midfield, given the disappointing performances of key players like Adrien Rabiot and others who are not meeting expectations.
A move in January could involve a compensation agreement, as Kessié’s contract is set to expire in June. Should the deal materialize, it would represent a sensational market move for the Bianconeri. Reactions from Milanese, Interisti, and Juventus supporters are awaited with interest, considering Kessié’s career and his history running Milan’s midfield. Even though he may no longer be the player he was four years ago in athletic terms, his experience could be crucial for Massimiliano Allegri’s squad.
Moreover, Juventus is preparing to face future challenges and recognizes the need to contend for top positions in Serie A. Therefore, acquiring a player with Kessié’s credentials might give them the extra push needed to return to the levels their footballing history demands.
