Juventus want to sign Franck Kessie after his disappointing start at Barcelona could force him to leave the Spanish club.
The Ivorian has spent most of his professional career in Italian football, but left AC Milan for Barca as a free agent at the start of this season.
The Spanish team have now promoted more youngsters into midfield, which has increased competition for a playing opportunity in the team and left Kessie spending more time on the bench.
Although he has just joined them, reports claim that the midfielder is already on the move and could leave Catalonia in January for a fee.
Juve want to bring him back to Italy and believe he has what it takes to deliver for them, according to Tuttomercatoweb, but they will face competition from Tottenham among others.
The Premier League side are working hard to convince him that he will thrive in England and he should join them in starting to play regularly again.
Juve FC says
Kessie was one of the best midfielders in Serie A and continues to prove to be a great talent in Spain every time he steps on the pitch, but it doesn’t happen often.
We have struggled to get good performances from players like Leandro Paredes and Denis Zakaria, among others, and we should consider adding Kessie to our team to make it stronger.
