Kessie has eyes only for Juventus

• 02 nov 2016

Is there really a race for Atalanta talent Franck Kessie?

Not if transfer expert Alfredo Pedulla has got this scoop right: he claims that the 19-year-old Ivorian has made it clear to his agent that he has eyes only for Juventus, a message he’s repeated to Atalanta.

 

Inter and Napoli are also fascinated by the youngster, having followed his case since when he was with Cesena last season, with AC Milan also in the race.

 

The Partenopei in particular looked to have obtained a gentleman’s agreement with Kessie, but we’ve heard little on that front since.

 

Kessie has already banged in 5 goals for Atalanta this season, four in Serie A action, where he also played very well against Inter and Napoli recently.

The Ivorian was acquired from Stella Club for a measly €300k in 2015, and scored four times on loan to Cesena last season. He is sure to fetch far more than that now.
