Former Milan Midfielder Eyes Juventus Move, But Club Has Other Priorities

Ivory Coast captain Franck Kessié continues to offer his services to Juventus, hoping for a second stint in Serie A after his successful spell with AC Milan, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The 29-year-old midfielder is currently a free agent, having declined to renew his expired contract with Saudi club Al-Ahli, where he spent the last three seasons. Given Kessié's availability on a free transfer, the "Old Lady" has shown interest. However, their immediate priorities lie elsewhere, specifically in securing a goalkeeper and a striker. Only after addressing these positions would Juventus consider a potential deal for the midfielder, who won the Italian championship with Milan in 2022. During his time at Al-Ahli, Kessié made 119 appearances, scoring 26 goals and providing 15 assists.
