Saudis have solution for Barca - Kessie offered 15 million a year deal

Saudi Arabia is on roll. Al Hilal's representatives moved a bit from England and the Premier League and went straight to Paris, where they offered Marco Verratti 50,000,000 euros per season, Al Ahly prepared an answer, but a much modest one. As Athletic writes, the club from Jeddah ran into Franck Kessie, who does not have a bright future in Barcelona.

After the arrival of Ilkay Gundogan, Kessie was told that he will be only the fifth choice in the line-up, because in addition to the German, Pedri, Gavi and Frankie De Jong are also there. With another midfielder waiting waiting to be signed as a replacement for Busquests, the situation may be even more complicated for him.

But the Ivorian international is not a quitter and wants to fight for a place in the team. In April last year, he signed a contract for four seasons for a salary of 6,500,000 euros, which, with easily achievable bonuses, adds up to 7,000,000. That's why Kessie's representatives have already twice debunked media reports that their client is leaving the Camp Nou stadium.

Barca understood the signal and almost gave up on the idea of ​​selling him in order to sort out its finances, but the offer from the Middle East might be just what the Catalans need. Because Al Hilal offers Kessie twice his salary to come to Saudi Arabia. About 15,000,000 euros. Will it be enough to convince him to change his mind and leave Barca? We'll find out soon enough. Al Ahly would certainly have to add 30,000,000 euros more, just so the Catalans could earns some money too.
