Juventus making progress to sign Franck Kessie - report

Related Topics: Juventus, Franck Kessié, Serie A

Conversations between FC Barcelona and Juventus over Franck Kessie are ongoing as both clubs are doing their US tour.

The two clubs were supposed to meet over the weekend for a match that was ultimately cancelled as Barcelona players were sidelined with illness.

Italian sources are saying that Juve are looking for a loan with an option to buy to strengthen their midfield, and Barcelona are not opposed to the idea.

This option would actually become mandatory if Juve were to finish first or second in Serie A, and that would trigger a purchase clause worth at least 15 million euro.
