Juventus are set to miss out on a key January midfield target as Liverpool and Tottenham have made official offer to sign Atlatanta starlet Franck Kessié, according to reports from Italy. The promising 19-year-old midfielder has already found economic agreement with the Old Lady, but the Serie A giants have yet to agree the price to sign the former Cesena starlet who has six goals and two assists in 16 games so far this season.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Tottenham have offered € 23 million to sign Kessié, whilst Liverpool have put € 22 million on the table plus a five-year, €2.5 million a year deal for the footballer who is playing the first top-flight season of his career.

​Juventus are long time admirers of Kessié, but the interest of Premier League clubs is making Atalanta increase their economic demands for one of the most promising midfielders in Serie A. Arsenal and Manchester United are also believed to be closely following the situation of Kessié.
