Gasperini seeks Kessie as Roma explores transfer options
Summary

Franck Kessié is in a holding pattern regarding his future as Juventus aims to sign him following departures from their midfield. Currently, the sale of Fabio Miretti to Besiktas is ongoing and may not create sufficient space for Kessié's signing. AS Roma is also pursuing Kessié, with Gian Piero Gasperini expressing a strong interest in the player he previously managed. Kessié, now a free agent after a season with Al-Ahli, could return to Italy, but it remains uncertain whether he will choose Roma or wait for Juventus.
