The summer transfer saga surrounding Franck Kessié is far from reaching its conclusion. Torn between Juventus and Tottenham, the Ivorian midfielder could potentially opt for another destination if a more tempting offer arises. And this offer could well come from Liverpool.
The prospect of Franck Kessié leaving FC Barcelona has never been more real. The Ivorian seems to be clearly out of Xavi Hernandez’s plans for the upcoming season. The coach of the blaugrana club no longer wants him and does not hesitate to make it clear. This was already the case on Wednesday after the friendly match won 1-0 against AC Milan in the United States.
Attributing Kessié’s absence to an injury, Xavi added that the player was well aware of the situation regarding his future. Following this, the press announces an upcoming meeting between Tottenham and the management of the Catalan club in order to finalize a transfer of Franck Kessié. However, this transaction could be disrupted by the arrival of another heavyweight from the Premier League.
Indeed, according to Sport, Liverpool could make an offer for the former AC Milan player. Franck Kessié’s desire is to join the Premier League or the Bundesliga in case of departure. If the Reds submit a concrete offer, it is difficult to imagine Kessié opting for Tottenham, even though the latter would be willing to pay the €15 million in compensation demanded by Barça. The competition is therefore fierce to secure the services of the 26-year-old Elephant, and the suspense remains as to his final destination during this summer transfer window.
