Franck Kessie wants to join Juventus, with the midfielder keen on a return to Serie A now that his time at Al-Ahli has come to an end.
According to TuttoMercatoWeb, via CalcioMercato.it, the Ivory Coast international regards the Bianconeri as his first choice for the next stage of his career.
Kessie is a free agent after Al-Ahli opted not to renew his contract, which expired at the end of June, making him available at no cost, an appealing prospect for any suitor.
Kessie makes Juventus his priority for Serie A return
A former Milan man who spent the bulk of his career in the Italian top flight, Kessie knows the league intimately and would face little adaptation on a return.
Juventus, for their part, are in the market for midfield reinforcements and would reportedly be glad to welcome the 29-year-old into their squad.
The free-transfer nature of any deal only strengthens its logic for a Juventus side mindful of their spending under the UEFA settlement agreement confirmed this window.
Fresh from featuring at the World Cup, Kessie offers proven Serie A pedigree and midfield energy, and, crucially, at no transfer outlay.
