Report – Agent Of Al-Ahli Midfielder Open Talks With Inter Milan & Juventus Over Potential Serie A Return

Franck Kessie’s days in Saudi Arabia could be numbered. According to FCInterNews, the Al-Ahli midfielder's representative has already opened negotiations with both Inter Milan and Juventus as the 29-year-old eyes a return to Serie A this summer.

Kessie, who spent seven formative seasons in Italy, first caught the eye at Atalanta before becoming a cornerstone of AC Milan’s midfield. He captained the Rossoneri to the Scudetto in 2021/22, cementing his reputation as one of the league’s most dominant box-to-box operators. A subsequent switch to Barcelona failed to yield the expected dividends, prompting a swift exit to Al-Ahli in 2023 on a lucrative multi-year deal.

With only a few months remaining on his Riyadh contract, the Ivorian international has grown disillusioned with life in the Saudi Pro League. Sources indicate he is actively pushing for a move back to the familiar surroundings of Italian football, where he previously thrived.

Inter and Juventus have both been approached. While the Bianconeri have signalled concrete interest, the Nerazzurri’s position remains less defined, leaving the door ajar for a potential tug-of-war once the transfer window reopens.
