Agreement between Barcelona and Juventus over Franck Kessie transfer - report

FC Barcelona and Juventus have reached an agreement in principle over the transfer of Franck Kessie, although the player himself has to approve the deal before it can go through.

As per Italian sources, it would be a loan with a purchase clause rated between 10 and 15 million euro.

The deal is not fully finished as the exact nature of the clause is still being debated. Some rumors say it’s a clause that becomes mandatory only if Juventus finish at a minimum league position. Clearly, the Italians would rather it be a high position so they can retain all options open, but Barcelona prefer it being a lower position because they want the sale to be assured.
