Yaisleh selects Franck Kessié's replacement at Al-Ahli

The head coach of Al Ahly Club, Matthias Jaissle, has identified a potential replacement for the Ivorian star Franck Kessié, as his departure approaches with the end of his current contract.

Reports indicate that Kessie is rejecting the idea of renewing with Al-Ahli and is inclined to return to the Italian league during the upcoming transfer window.

According to media sources, Jaissle has listed Thuram as one of the top options to replace Kessié in the team's midfield.

This move is part of a strategic plan aimed at reshaping the team's elements in preparation for the new season.

Al-Ahly's management, in coordination with the technical staff, is working on strengthening several positions in light of the upcoming participation in local and continental tournaments.

The club hopes to maintain its technical stability following the recent successes achieved by the team.

Al-Ahli recently won the Asian Champions League for the elite, in addition to the Saudi Super Cup, which boosts ambitions for the upcoming phase.
