Kessie’s agent lands in Barcelona, signaling a significant transfer development
According to Relevo’s Matteo Moretto, Franck Kessie’s future at Barcelona is dependent on the arrival of an exceptional offer from Saudi Arabia. The Ivorian midfielder’s agent recently visited Barcelona to meet with Deco and Mateu Alemany, indicating ongoing discussions.
Kessie himself has expressed a preference to remain at Barcelona for the upcoming season. He desires to be part of Xavi’s project, but also seeks a more prominent role within the team. Despite this desire, reports suggest that Kessie remains open to considering other options if the right opportunity arises.
Earlier reports had indicated interest from Saudi Arabian clubs Al Hilal and Al Nassr, who entered negotiations with the 26-year-old midfielder. However, it appears that the offers presented were not compelling enough to sway Kessie’s decision immediately.
Barcelona, on the other hand, is keen on offloading Kessie as it would assist in reducing the club’s wage bill while generating additional transfer income. The midfielder had limited playing time last season, featuring for less than 2000 minutes, but managed to contribute with six goals.
The situation surrounding Kessie’s transfer remains dynamic, with Barcelona looking to find a favorable resolution that aligns with their financial and squad-building objectives. As negotiations and discussions continue, the final outcome regarding Kessie’s future at Barcelona will be eagerly anticipated by both fans and observers of the football transfer market.
