Franck Kessie says about Juventus' interest: "The transfer market is long, we'll see"

A difficult moment for Côte d'Ivoire, which has just said goodbye to its dreams of further participation in the World Cup, losing to Erling Haaland's Norway in the 1/8 finals. One of the protagonists of the African team's advancement to the knockout phase was Franck Kessie, whose future on the transfer market arouses great interest, especially from Juventus. The player himself has recently commented on transfer speculations, stating that any club that would acquire him would make a good deal. After the match against Norway, Kessie did not have much desire to talk about the transfer market, but he gave a short interview to DAZN, in which he left the door open to a possible return to Italy: "Will I return to Italy next year? It's hard to talk about it today, the market is long. We have just come out of a long season, now it's time to rest." In an interview with "La Gazzetta dello Sport", Kessie said in reference to Juventus: "Yes, I know that people are talking about me, but now I am only thinking about the World Cup. I will only add that I am a great reinforcement. In form, at the World Cup and, above all, as a free player, it is difficult to find a better move! That's why everyone wants me, they are right! But for the next few days I am a player of Al Ahli from Jeddah. After the match in the 1/8 finals, I will meet my agent and talk about this. My name comes up in many conversations, but it's normal that I want myself in this shape and for this kind of money!
