Three Serie A clubs interested in signing Barcelona’s Franck Kessie in the summer

After a disastrous start to his life at Camp Nou, the year 2023 has been quite kind to Franck Kessie. The midfielder has received more game-time and has looked at ease under the leadership of Xavi Hernandez.

His improved performances have seen him gain more regular game-time in the first-team, leading to renewed discussions over his future at the club.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Kessie’s resurgence has not gone unnoticed across Europe. Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur, in particular, have shown great determination in signing him in the summer, with Antonio Conte a huge fan of the player.

Manchester United are involved in the race too. But the report suggests Kessie could be in contention to return to Serie A as well. This is because the midfielder has been targeted by three Serie A giants in the form of Inter Milan, Juventus and Napoli.

Inter Milan have been strongly linked with a move for Kessie lately and were in contention to sign him on a swap deal in January. Juventus, too, are in the hunt for midfield reinforcements in the summer, while Napoli rate the player highly due to his experience in Serie A, coupled with his aggression that makes him an ideal fit for Luciano Spalletti’s system.

The report further claims that Kessie feels he is adapting to the Barcelona system more with each passing day. His increasing role in the team complements his improvement as a performer as well.

However, Kessie may be open to an exit from Camp Nou in the summer, keeping in mind Barcelona’s poor financial situation that will surely be some exits at the end of the season. Kessie, along with Eric Garcia are among the players in contention to depart as part of this mass clearout.
