Famous Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed new developments regarding the future of Ivorian Franck Kessié, former Al-Ahli Saudi player, during the current summer transfer window, confirming that the player prioritizes a return to the Italian league.

According to Romano, Kessié is keen on moving to Juventus and hopes to finalize the deal in the coming days, despite interest from several Saudi clubs seeking his services.

Romano explained that the player's management has received calls from Saudi clubs expressing interest in signing him, but Kessié has clearly informed them that his current priority is to return to Italy and wear the Juventus shirt.

This stance comes after a successful stint for Kessié in the Italian league with AC Milan, where he made a name for himself before moving to Barcelona and then Al-Ahli Saudi.

Romano indicated that the player will give Juventus a deadline in the coming days, hoping for positive developments in negotiations, whether in terms of an agreement with Al-Ahli or reaching a suitable contract formula.

He added that Kessié will not completely close the door on other offers, as he will evaluate all available options if the Juventus deal does not progress as desired.

With the player's desire to return to Serie A, Juventus's interest in signing him, and the continued presence of strong Saudi offers, the coming days appear decisive in determining the next destination for the Ivorian star.
