Former AC Milan and Barcelona player Kessié had expressed his desire to return to the Italian Serie A, where he previously played for Atalanta and Milan, but negotiations with Roma have not made any tangible progress. Juventus, meanwhile, are closely monitoring the player’s situation and are considering making an official offer to sign him during the summer transfer window.
Kessié joined Al Ahli from Barcelona in August 2023 for €12.5 million, with a contract extension until June 2026.
