Al-Ahli and Franck Kessie
Monday
Al-Ahli have submitted an official offer to re-sign Ivory Coast midfielder Franck Kessie for one season. The proposed contract is worth €10m annually and includes a clause giving the Saudi club priority to extend the agreement for another year.
Kessie is available as a free agent, allowing Al-Ahli to negotiate directly without paying a transfer fee. His previous spell in Jeddah reduces adaptation risk, while the club wants an experienced, physical midfielder before the new season begins.
