El Aynaoui remains without offers as Kessié’s future faces uncertainty

Summary

As of August 27, 2026, Neil El Aynaoui has not received any concrete offers for his transfer. The Moroccan midfielder is among players under consideration for departure from Roma but is not a preferred choice for manager Gian Piero Gasperini. Sources report that Roma has made contact regarding Franck Kessié, a free agent, but high asking prices are complicating potential moves. Currently, Crystal Palace has only made an exploratory inquiry for El Aynaoui, while interest from Saudi Arabia appears absent. If El Aynaoui stays, Roma might struggle to secure Kessié, who has been linked with Juventus for a return to Italy.
