Juventus Target Al Ahli Midfielder Franck Kessie for Next Season

Franck Kessie has emerged as Juventus’ transfer target for a return to Italian Serie A. The Ivory Coast midfielder currently represents Al Ahli — this season’s Asian Champions League winners.

Kessie’s contract situation at the Saudi Arabian club is Juventus’ main consideration. The 28-year-old player has only one year remaining on his deal until June 2026.

Having joined Al Ahli in summer 2023, the former AC Milan and Atalanta player reportedly has no plans to extend his contract. This situation has prompted Juventus to move quickly to bring Kessie back to Italian competition.
