Ivorien midfielder Franck Kessie on Wednesday joined Saudi Arabian outfit Al Ahli in a 12.5 million euro move from Barcelona, the teams announced.
Al Ahly have already signed Brazilian star Roberto Firmino from Liverpool, Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy from Chelsea, and Riyad Mahrez from Manchester City.
The 26-year-old spent one season at Barcelona after joining from AC Milan where he won the Serie A title in 2022.
The Ivory Coast midfielder struggled to secure a place in Xavi’s starting lineup.
Meanwhile, Al-Ahli have appointed Matthias Jaissle as manager on a three-year deal after Red Bull Salzburg sacked the German coach.
