Ivory Coast midfielder Franck Kessie completed a transfer on Wednesday, making a 12.5 million euro switch from Barcelona to Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli, as confirmed by both teams.
Al Ahli has been actively recruiting talent, having secured Brazilian star Roberto Firmino from Liverpool, Senegalese goalkeeper Edouard Mendy from Chelsea, and Riyad Mahrez from Manchester City.
After a year with Barcelona, the 26-year-old midfielder had previously played for AC Milan, where he clinched the Serie A title in 2022.
