Juventus, abrupt setback for midfield coup

Juventus, abrupt setback for midfield coup

Franck Kessie’s future remains in the balance: the Ivorian midfielder is on his way out of Barcelona because he is out of Xavi’s plans, and has been in contact with Juventus’ market men for weeks.

But in the last hours from Cataogna come conflicting rumors about the progress of negotiations: according to Sport, the African player would prefer the Premier League and is precisely waiting for an offer from an English club, especially Tottenham.

Barcelona also remains on hold: the Blaugrana want to sell the player outright in order to obtain a capital gain, and Spurs, with greater financial capacity than the Bianconeri club, could reinvest several million, especially if they were to sell bomber Harry Kane to Bayern Munich.

Juventus, on the other hand, is not going beyond a simple loan with right of redemption, and is trying to convince the player to return to Italy.
