Rumors from Spain, Juventus trembles: for Franck Kessié temptation Premier

A possible obstacle toward the big HCL goal.

Franck Kessié is in the sights of Juventus, which is also willing to make major sacrifices in order to give the Ivorian to Massimiliano Allegri. In the meantime, however, another emblazoned club seems to have swooped on the Barcelona midfielder’s trail and could create more than a headache for the Bianconeri management: Tottenham.

Talking about it are the Catalans of ‘Sport,’ historically very close to the events surrounding Barcelona. The source explains that Tottenham’s interest is growing, and could become particularly incessant should Harry Kane’s departure from London occur at the same time. A prospect that Juventus must therefore somehow exorcise.

In recent days, the Bianconeri management had broken the hesitations, trying to see if for Kessié a lightning negotiation with Barcelona could be established. In fact, the Ivorian player does not fit Xavi’s plans and is on his way out of the Catalan club, and Juventus was reasoning about a possible loan with right of redemption for a sum close to 15 million euros: the Blaugrana, who initially wanted to let him leave only on an outright basis, seemed willing to evaluate the latest offer from the Turin-based team.

However, the operation was and remains tied to a necessity: to thin the roster of redundant or at least non-essential players. One has already been placed (Arthur to Fiorentina), now a solution must be found for Zakaria and McKennie. The Swiss seems close to West Ham, while for the American there would be options in both England and Turkey. Then the situation of Paul Pogba, tempted by Saudi Arabia, must be evaluated.
