Juventus is also in need of midfield additions and would reportedly welcome the 29-year-old into their ranks enthusiastically.
The free-agent status of Kessie makes a potential signing even more appealing for Juventus, especially considering their careful spending due to UEFA regulations this transfer window.
After appearing in the World Cup, Kessie brings with him solid Serie A experience and energy in midfield, all while incurring no transfer costs.
