Juventus executives Giovanni Carnevali and Frederic Massara met directly with Franck Kessié’s representatives in Milan today
, pushing to close a free transfer for the former Atalanta and AC Milan midfielder.With Fabio Miretti’s loan to Beşiktaş — which includes a €15 million buy option — now complete, Juve cleared the required wage space. Following that deal, Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Juventus don’t need any further outgoings to proceed, meaning the club can push ahead to finalize Kessié without
waiting on potential departures like Jonathan David.
The proposed contract is a two-year deal with an option for a third season, worth a net €4.5 million per year plus performance-related bonuses. With AS Roma attempting a late move, manager Luciano Spalletti and Juve directors spoke directly with Kessié prior to today’s meeting to keep negotiations moving swiftly toward a return to Serie A after his three years with Al-Ahli.
Rather than waiting around for late market dominoes, Juve are intent on wrapping this up quickly. Having put in weeks of work to stay in pole position, the focus now is on getting the final paperwork signed in the coming hours.
