It’s been expected for a while now, and it’s official. Franck Kessié is now part of the large lsiute of talents who have decided to export to Saudi Arabia, since he has just signed up with Al-Ahli. After only one year at Barça, the Ivorian international is already packing his bags.
The Saudi club, which has already enlisted Riyad Mahrez, Roberto Firmino and Allan Saint-Maximin in particular, spent 12.5 million euros to recruit him. An operation that allows Barça to recover a few cents and free up payroll in order to be able to register its new recruits with La Liga.
