#Juventus have submitted a bid to Frank #Kessiè to try to sign him as a free agent. Offered a contract until 2028 + option for 2029 with a salary of 4,5M/year. #transfers

#Kessie e chi lo assiste pensavano di utilizzare la #Juventus per giocare sul tavolo della #Roma. La Juventus e Massara lo hanno trattato, ma dovevano conoscere Atangana: i soldi che chiede oppure stop. Eppure Spalletti ne aveva parlato con fiducia appena ieri. Al Milan FK aveva detto “torno e firmo”, ma poi se ne andò a zero. OGGI non ci sono le condizioni economiche per un accordo tra Kessie e la Roma. La richiesta è fuori dai parametri: 4,5-5 milioni a stagione più bonus più 5-6 milioni alla firma più commissioni. Quello che penso in un video appena pubblicato su YouTube
Translated: Franck Kessie's wage and signing bonus demands reportedly exceed Roma's budget, with Juventus also having explored a deal, agreement currently unlikely.

🚨⚠️ Al Ahli are considering a surprise move to bring Franck Kessié back just weeks after officially announcing his departure. However, the idea of reinforcing the midfield by re-signing Kessié is not convincing everyone within the club and has also divided the fanbase.

PLAY ON#Juventus’ main target is currently Frank #Kessie (positive talks in the last hours). #Spalletti is not convinced by the chance to sign Joshua #Zirkzee (on loan + option to buy from #MUFC) and is pushing to have Kessie as soon as possible. Then #Juve - if David leaves - will try to sign a striker with different skills than Zirkzee despite Massara’s penchant for the dutch. #transfers

STANDSFrank #Kessie has turned down last #Juventus’ bid (contract until 2028 + option for 2029 with a salary of €4M/year + bonuses). The ivorian midfielder wants more as salary and his agent also asks an important fee at the signing. #transfers

#Carnevali sul mancato arrivo di #Kessie alla #Juventus: “Non è un problema economico. Sembrava che ci fosse l’accordo per chiudere: noi eravamo riusciti a offrire quanto richiesto. Forse non era tanto l’interesse del giocatore di venire alla #Juve oppure del suo procuratore...”
