Interest from Italian Clubs
People are talking a lot about Franck Kessié maybe coming back to Serie A cause many clubs want the midfielder. He’s playing for Al-Ahli in Saudi Pro League now but word is he wants to go back to Italy where he did really good with AC Milan and even won Serie A in 2021-2022 season.
Fiorentina is really trying hard and made an actual offer already. Their good history and how they been playing lately makes them look pretty good, especially since they got some players hurt. Leeds United also wants him now according to what @SaudiFootball said on Twitter.

Juventus and Roma’s Pursuit
Making things even more interesting Juventus and Roma are also trying to get Kessié which is making everything more complicated. Juventus, who always wants the best players are talking to Al-Ahli about getting him. They really want to make their team stronger so they can get into Champions League.
Roma asked about him too cause they want more options in midfield. Since Kessié knows how to play different ways and did so good at AC Milan before Italian clubs really want him. When he was at AC Milan he was like super important which makes Italian teams want him even more.
Strategic Implications for Clubs
If Kessié comes back to Italy he’d make any team’s midfield way better cause he knows what he’s doing and can play different ways. He’s really strong and works hard plus he can help both when the team has the ball and when they don’t which makes him really useful.
AC Milan where Kessié used to play might try to get him back since he did so good there before. As time goes by more and more teams are gonna try really hard to get him to sign with them which makes this one of the most exciting things to watch this summer.
