Juventus have pulled the plug on their pursuit of Franck Kessie, with the move from Al Ahli Saudi officially off. The midfielder had been considered a priority signing, but for now, he'll reportedly be staying put. It's unclear whether the club will revisit the deal further down the line or move onto other targets. With negotiations ending unsuccessfully, Franck Kessie will not join Juventus - but interest from Atalanta could yet reignite. Juventus are only scoring 1.0 goals per game (1 in 1) this season, which suggests they need more creativity in the middle. Franck Kessie would be seen as the link to raise the tempo and feed the attack. Speculation continues to connect Juventus with Juan Miranda, Kamil Grabara and Sead Kolasinac while no fresh rumours surround Al Ahli Saudi.
