Liverpool linked with a move for Franck Kessie as Barcelona exit looms
The Reds find themselves in the middle of the transfer rumour mill with Franck Kessie linked with Liverpool once again as the 26-year-old sees himself out of Xavi’s Barcelona plans for next season.
Spanish outlet Sport via ECHO claim Liverpool’s interest in securing the services of the former AC Milan man. Kessie‘s future at the Catalan club appears uncertain, with reports suggesting that Barcelona are eager to accelerate his departure after just a year at the club.
The outlet also highlights that Kessie has been hoping for an opportunity in the Premier League, with both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur mentioned as potential suitors.
Interestingly, Juventus has already stepped into the picture, becoming the first team to officially make an offer for Kessie. However, the race for his signature is far from over, and Liverpool’s interest in the midfielder showcases the club’s determination to secure top talent.
Kessie to the Reds?
Kessie’s attributes as a robust and dynamic midfielder could potentially fill the void left by departed players like Fabinho and Jordan Henderson. At 26, he is in the prime of his abilities as a footballer, and could really benefit the Reds.
While he surely could prove to be a decent option for Jurgen Klopp to have in midfield, we also see ourselves linked with players who are much more proven on the biggest of stages, and having Kessie as a backup option to those would surely not hurt the Reds cause.
As the transfer window progresses, Liverpool’s intentions regarding Kessie’s acquisition will surely become clearer. The competition from other clubs, including Juventus, will likely add intrigue to the saga. The midfielder’s desire for a move to the Premier League, coupled with Liverpool’s ambition to reinforce their squad, could certainly lead to a captivating transfer tussle.
