Juventus nearing move for Franck Kessie after major meeting with entourage

Serie A side Juventus have been keeping a close eye on the situation of Franck Kessie for many weeks now. The deal is edging closer to completion.

Get Italian Football News covered last week that Fabio Mirettiโ€™s move to Besiktas was holding the key for the Ivorianโ€™s move to the Bianconeri.

Tuttomercatoweb report that a deal is close to completion. Juve met the midfielderโ€™s agents earlier today to discuss a move and they decided to make a decisive push.

Even before this, telephonic conversation had taken place regularly between the parties. Kessie will, as a result, sign a two-year deal with the option for a third and he will earn โ‚ฌ4.5 million per season.

Mirettiโ€™s move to Turkey has indeed played a big role in this. Now, Juve are awaiting the exit of Jonathan David to make sure that they can sign another striker, with Joshua Zirkzee yet to make a final decision about his next club.
