Franck Kessie does not want to accept a contract from any club other than Juventus, but the Bianconeri are struggling to offer him a suitable deal.
He is currently a free agent after allowing his contract at Al Ahli to expire following three years with the Saudi Arabian club, where he remained one of their most important players until his departure.
Kessie was in excellent form and continued to attract attention from clubs in Europe. Several teams are now interested in adding him to their squad because he is available to join another side on the continent.
Juventus attempt to secure Kessie
Juventus want to sign Kessie and have already presented him with a three-year contract worth 3.5m euros net per season. However, he rejected the proposal because he wants a higher salary, which is understandable considering he earned 14m euros net per season in the Saudi Pro League.
The Bianconeri are working on an improved offer, but they are currently struggling to create a financial package that would convince the midfielder to join them.
Time running out for Juventus
According to Tuttojuve, Juventus are finding it difficult to put together an agreement that matches Kessie’s expectations. The club must now find a solution quickly because the longer he remains available, the more likely other teams will attempt to secure his signature.
Kessie’s preference to join Juventus gives the club an advantage, but they cannot rely on that interest lasting forever. If he decides to consider offers from other clubs, he could attract a significant amount of attention in the coming weeks.
The Bianconeri do not want to lose the opportunity to add an experienced midfielder to their squad. They will need to improve their proposal soon if they want to convince Kessie to choose Turin as the next destination in his career.
