Kessie's agents have been in contact with Juventus in an effort to persuade the Ivorian midfielder to return to Serie A. Barcelona has made its interest in Federico Chiesa known as the two teams are ready to meet in America. The Catalans think that included the gifted forward in Juventus' offer for Kessie would be advantageous for all parties involved in the deal, therefore they have put out the suggestion.
Due to their prior experience with a comparable player exchange agreement, Juventus may be hesitant, though. The Bianconeri did not receive substantial dividends from the swap of Arthur Melo and Miralem Pjanic between Juventus and Barcelona in 2020, which may make them wary of entering into a similar agreement this time. According to Juve FC , Kessie and Chiesa cannot be compared, and Barca may be telling us that the Ivorian is not for sale by making this request.
