Exclusive: Franck Kessie Not a Fiorentina Target

Football & Cricket

Rumours often circulate in the world of football, but they only hold weight if grounded in reality; otherwise, they simply cause confusion. Franck Kessie`s recent links to Fiorentina serve as a prime example. These reports suggested a possible move due to his previous collaboration with coach Pioli during their time at Milan, as no other clear rationale seemed apparent for such speculation.

However, exclusive information indicates that Kessie is not presently a target for Fiorentina, nor is he expected to become one in the foreseeable future. This is primarily due to the significant financial implications and overall feasibility concerns associated with such a transfer.

In essence, any connection between Kessie and Fiorentina appears to be non-existent and unsubstantiated.

Kessie`s Future: Serie A Return Doubts

Earlier in the current month, reports emerged indicating that Kessie`s representative was actively seeking a return to Serie A for the Ivorian midfielder.

The former Atalanta and Milan midfielder joined Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli in 2023 for a reported €12.5 million, having transferred from Barcelona. Notably, this transfer to Al-Ahli occurred only a year after he had initially moved to the Catalan powerhouse on a free transfer from AC Milan.
