Juventus is preparing a new offer to convince Franck Kessie to join their squad this summer after he rejected their initial proposal worth 3.5 million euros per season, according to Gianluca di Marzio.
Kessie is set to return to European football this summer after spending three years with Al Ahli in the Saudi Pro League. The midfielder has become one of the players Juventus wants to add as they look to strengthen their squad.
Juventus push for Kessie agreement
The Bianconeri moved quickly to pursue Kessie after his performances at the 2026 World Cup demonstrated that he remains one of the best midfielders available as a free agent this summer.
Juventus has the financial ability to complete a deal and initially offered Kessie a contract worth 3.5 million euros net per season. However, the midfielder wants improved terms, and the club is now prepared to increase its proposal in an attempt to secure his signature.
The officials at the Allianz Stadium believe Kessie deserves a higher salary and are determined to do everything possible to bring him to Turin. They are aware that several clubs are also interested in signing the experienced midfielder, making negotiations more important.
Kessie open to Juventus move
Kessie appears open to joining Juventus and is willing to wait for the club to present an offer that matches his expectations before committing his future.
The midfielder is attracted by the opportunity to work with Luciano Spalletti and return to Serie A, where he previously established himself as one of the league’s strongest midfielders.
Juventus believes Kessie’s experience, physical ability and leadership could make him a valuable addition to the squad. The club will now focus on improving its offer and reaching an agreement that satisfies both parties.
With competition for his signature increasing, Juventus will hope that their efforts are enough to convince Kessie that the Allianz Stadium is the right destination for the next stage of his career.
