Kessier preferred a transfer to Saudi Arabia over Juventus

Barcelona midfielder Frank Kessier will move to Al-Ahly, Italian transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has announced. The two sides have been negotiating for days and have finally agreed on a deal worth 15 million euros. The Ivorian himself will sign a contract for three years until the summer of 2026. The deal is expected to be announced by the end of the week.

Kessier was linked for a long time with a transfer to Juventus, who wanted him very much, but the information said that the player himself is delaying the deal because he prefers to move to a team from England. In the end, however, Al-Ahly's offer was tempting enough and he agreed to a transfer to Saudi Arabia.
