Franck Kessie linked with Juventus and Milan as Serie A return looms

Ivorian midfielder Franck Kessie, whose Al‑Ahli contract expires on 30 June, is attracting renewed interest from Serie A clubs. Juventus have re‑opened talks, with director Giovanni Carnevali and coach Luciano Spalletti reportedly positive about a two‑year deal worth around €5 million per season, plus bonuses. The club sees Kessie’s experience and versatility as valuable for the new project.

Milan are also mentioned as a potential destination. New manager Ruben Amorim believes Kessie’s physicality and tactical profile fit his aggressive style, but the club must weigh the player’s high wages and the risk of a drop in performance after his stint in Saudi Arabia. Both clubs would need to negotiate a sustainable contract, while Kessie appears inclined to return to Italy rather than extend his stay in Saudi Arabia.
