The transfer of Franck Kessié to Al-Ahli is about to be settled.
And one more player who will leave Europe to join Saudi Arabia. Just one year after his arrival at FC Barcelona, Franck Kessié is on his way to joining Al-Ahli.
The 26-year-old former Milanese is set to sign a three-year contract with the Saudi club. The transfer fee is estimated at 15 million euros, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Kessié should therefore be Al-Ahli’s fifth major recruit this summer, after the arrival of goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and the Saint-Maximin/Mahrez/Firmino trio.
