Franck Kessié, the Ivorian midfielder who played for AC Milan from 2017 to 2022, has expressed his nostalgia for Italy, a country that he considers a second home. In a post-match interview after his team's World Cup game against Germany, Kessié revealed that he misses Italy tremendously, having spent eight or nine years there as a young player. He began his European career with Milan at just 19 years old.

Kessié's comments have sparked speculation about a potential return to Serie A, with his contract at Al-Ahli set to expire on June 30. The midfielder has been linked to Juventus, with some sources suggesting that he could join the Bianconeri on a free transfer. Kessié's desire to return to Europe is well-known, and he may be willing to take a pay cut to achieve his goal.

During his time at Milan, Kessié established himself as a key player, making 223 appearances and scoring 37 goals. He was a crucial part of the team that won the 2021 Scudetto, and his performances earned him a move to Barcelona in 2022. Although his stint in Catalonia was short-lived, Kessié remains a highly regarded player in the football world.

As Kessié weighs his options for the future, AC Milan fans will be keeping a close eye on developments. While there is no indication that Milan are interested in re-signing their former player, Kessié's return to Serie A would undoubtedly be a major coup for any Italian club.
