Juventus targets Franck Kessie as transfer window approaches

Summary

Juventus aims to sign Franck Kessie as a free agent in the final weeks of the transfer window. Kessie is reportedly waiting for an offer from the club, which is working to create salary space through player departures. Juventus needs to strengthen its midfield following a disappointing start to the season, and Kessie’s experience could provide a significant boost. The club is currently close to resolving financial constraints related to player wages, with planned exits for Mattia Perin, Arthur Melo, Michel di Gregorio, and Fabio Miretti. Progress in negotiations could see Kessie joining soon.
