According to Tasnim news agency, the Juventus football team will face Barcelona in the first friendly match of its pre-season camp in three days (Sunday) at Lewis California Stadium, a meeting that will be more than a preparatory game for the two clubs to start the new season.
In order to make its financial balance positive and get permission to register its new purchases in the La Liga organization this summer, the Barcelona club had to sell a player, and considering that he is one of the players who receives the highest salary, he is on the list of possible exits. Last season, he played in Barcelona’s starting line-up in only seven weeks of La Liga, and this made him unhappy.
According to the report of Stampa newspaper, Cristiano Giuntoli, the new sports director of Juventus club, considers the recruitment of Frank Kessie as an ideal solution to strengthen the midfield of the team under the guidance of Massimiliano Allegri, and apparently the 26-year-old midfielder himself does not mind returning to Italy, but his preference is to stay in Barcelona, and if he has to leave Barca, he prefers the Premier League to Serie A.
