Kessié won't join Juventus as formal communication confirms end of move
According to Sky Sport, Franck Kessié's expected move to Juventus has collapsed, with formal communication now confirming he will not be joining the Turin club. The Ivorian midfielder had been linked with a return to Serie A after his time at Barcelona, where he has struggled for consistent minutes. Juventus had reportedly been in advanced talks for the former AC Milan player, but those negotiations have broken down. It remains to be seen whether other Serie A clubs will pursue the 27-year-old before the transfer window closes.

For Juventus, the collapse of this deal leaves a gap in their midfield rebuild heading into the new season — they will need to look elsewhere or rely on internal options. Kessié, meanwhile, faces an uncertain window: with limited playing time in La Liga and no Italian move materialising, his next steps will be one of the more intriguing subplots of the summer.
