Liverpool are once again being linked with a move for Franck Kessie, as the 26-year-old midfielder finds himself out of Xavi’s plans at Barcelona for the upcoming season.
Spanish outlet Sport reports Liverpool’s interest in signing the former AC Milan player this summer. Kessie’s future at Barcelona seems uncertain, with rumours suggesting that the Catalan club is keen to expedite his departure after only a year with the team.
According to the outlet, Kessie has expressed a desire to play in the Premier League, with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur being mentioned as possible destinations.
Juventus have already made an official offer for Kessie, but the competition for his signature is still ongoing. Liverpool’s interest in the midfielder demonstrates the club’s determination to acquire top-level talent, indicating that the race to secure the Ivorian star’s services is far from over.
Kessie’s strong and versatile qualities as a midfielder make him a potential candidate to fill the void left by departed players like Fabinho and Jordan Henderson.
