Besiktas wants to sign Franck Kessie from Al Ahli

Besiktas are looking for a player to anchor their midfield after the transition attacks they conceded against Shakhtar Donetsk.

HOOK FOR KESSIE

Last season, Kartal tried options such as Al Musrati and Hadziahmetovic in this area but failed to get the desired efficiency. Franck Kessie is the latest name on the agenda of the Eagles.

WANTS TO RETURN TO EUROPE

After playing for clubs such as Milan, Atalanta and Barcelona in Europe, the Ivorian international was transferred to Al Ahli. However, the 28-year-old failed to succeed in Saudi Arabia and wants to return to European football.

Beşiktaş is also investigating the player's latest situation. If the scout team and Solskjaer approve, Al Ahli will be approached. Al Ahli are interested in a free loan.

The management, who are preparing to sell Gedson Fernandes for a hefty fee, will be able to create a budget for the transfer of Kessie with the income from this transfer.
