Al Ahli Consider Franck Kessie Return Ahead of 2026/27 Season

Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli are reportedly exploring the possibility of re-signing former midfielder Franck Kessie ahead of the 2026/27 season.

The club is believed to be weighing up a move for the Ivory Coast international after his previous contract with Al Ahli expired on June 30, making him available on the market.

Kessie enjoyed a successful spell with the Saudi outfit before his departure, establishing himself as one of the team's most influential midfielders with his strength, experience and leadership.

Now, Al Ahli are considering a reunion with the 29-year-old as they look to reinforce their midfield options for the new campaign.

The experienced midfielder has built an impressive career, featuring for clubs such as Atalanta, AC Milan, Barcelona, and Al Ahli, while also playing a key role for the Ivory Coast national team.
