The transfer of Franck Kessie has been completed. He Barça y el Al Ahly have announced the agreement for the transfer of the Ivorian footballer to the Saudi club, which will pay 12.5 million for the footballer Kessie will sign for three seasons.
The benefit is net for the Catalan coffers, without any amount to be amortized, since the player arrived last summer with the letter of freedom from Milan. It is the second sale after the from Nico González to Porto, which reported 8.4 million clean. Those of Antoine Griezmann (20 million from Atlético) and Trincao (7 million from Sporting de Portugal) were closed during the previous season. Barcelona waits transfer Clément Lenglet and Sergiño Dest, As minimum. And the 50 (or whatever) of Ousmane Dembélé are missing del PSG
The ephemeral passage of the midfielder through the Camp Nou has been ephemeral. A single campaign. And useful. has disputed 43 parties out of 53 possible, but with only 16 titles. His participation was frequent but brief, basically limited to replacing a midfielder. I note three goals: one in the League (the most important of all, against Real Madrid), one in the Champions League (Viktoria Pilsen) and one in the Cup (Ceuta).
another illustrious name
Kessie knew she was going to have fewer opportunities this coming season. Such were the expectations that Xavi Hernández anticipated for him. The footballer prioritized the desire to play the prestige of staying at Barça and his agents sought offers.
They did not compensate so much for the proposals of European football as for the emerging championship in Saudi Arabia, where Kessie, 26, will practically double her income that she received in the Barcelona entity. He is one of the youngest to join the Saudi league. And it is another of the illustrious names to go to the source of millions. He will share a team with the Senegalese goalkeeper Edouard Mendy (from Chelsea), the algerian Riyad Mahrez (Manchester City) y the brazilian Roberto Firmino (Liverpool).
The goal of the ‘President’
The President, nickname with which he came from Milan, He will be remembered as a member of the League champion’s squad. But, above all, for being the author of the goal that virtually sentenced the League. Against Madrid, which will add durability in the memory of culé. In the last minute of the league derby, after Marco Asensio’s 1-2 scare that had been annulled for offside.
