Atalanta intercepted Cassier from Juventus

Atalanta have reached an agreement to sign a contract with Ivorian midfielder Franck Kessier. The footballer returns to the club as a free agent. All the details of the transfer have already been finalized, reports authoritative insider insider. The transfer situation around the midfielder unfolded quite quickly. After Kessier left Saudi Al-Ahly, Turin's Juventus was considered the main contender for him. However, today the negotiations with the old lady unexpectedly broke down, which was immediately taken advantage of by the representatives of the people of Bergamo. According to the source, the key role in the quick and successful return of the player was played by director Giuntoli, who personally managed the process of negotiations and the closing of the deal. Thus, Frank Kessier will once again play for the team in whose system he once began his journey in the great Italian football. We will remind, the football player was most remembered for his performances for the first team of Bergamo in the 2016/2017 season. He then made thirty-one appearances in all competitions and scored seven goals, six of which came in Serie A and another in the Coppa Italia. The midfielder did not win a single trophy with Atalanta, as all of his major club honors, including the Italian and Spanish championships, were won later with Milan and Barcelona. Cassier's spell at Bergamo ended in the summer of 2017 when he went on a two-year loan to Milan. Subsequently, on July 1, 2019, the Milan club completed his full transfer, which brought Atalanta thirty-two million euros.
