Difficulty in Kessi's Move to Europe
Sources have revealed that Matthias Yaisle, the head coach of Al Ahli Jeddah, has set his condition for agreeing to the departure of Ivorian international Frank Kessi during the ongoing summer transfer window.
According to reports, it seems that the Ivorian is on the verge of returning to European leagues again, as several European clubs have shown significant interest in signing him, notably Roma and Juventus from the Italian league.
It is worth mentioning that Kessi's contract with Al Ahli ends in June 2026, and reports suggest that the player has no desire to extend it, which opens the door for speculation about the possibility of his departure during this period.
According to sources, Kessi's salary of 18 million euros per year with Al Ahli may be the biggest obstacle to his return to European football, especially since the offers he has received are lower than that.
For his part, Yaisle has stipulated that he will not agree to sell Kessi until a suitable replacement is signed to take his place, especially as Al Ahli enters the new season strongly to compete for the league title and aims to retain the AFC Champions League title.
