Kessie willing to lower wages to reunite with Gasperini
The Ivorian midfielder, currently at Al-Ahli, has expressed his desire to return to Italy and, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Giallorossi club are concretely evaluating the operation.
The player's pricetag is around 14 million euros, an affordable figure for Roma.
The main obstacle remains the player's high salary, as the ex-Milan man currently earns around 12 million per season.
However, Kessie's strong motivation to work again with Gian Piero Gasperini could play a decisive role: the midfielder is reportedly willing to halve his salary and evaluate a spread over several years of the contract.
Contacts are already underway, but any acceleration is expected starting from July 1, when Roma will have completed some outgoing transfers useful for the balance sheet and compliance with UEFA Financial Fair Play.

💣 Dovbyk offered to AC Milan 😱 What's next for Jashari
Artem Dovbyk could stay in Serie A, but change shirts. The Roma striker has been offered by his agents to Milan, who are looking for a striker. Matteo Moretto has the exclusive, and also highlights how the Rossoneri's number one target remains Dusan Vlahović. If the Serbian from Juventus has many advantages, first and foremost the fact that he would arrive on a free transfer, if not at zero cost, for Dovbyk the Diavolo would have to make a significant outlay, of at least 40 million. It's hard to call these figures an opportunity, but the trail should still be considered. 📉 Full-backs, Doué is too expensive As for the full-back, Guela Doué's valuation has dropped to 30 million euros, which is too much for Strasbourg. Milan won't make an investment of that kind in that area of the field, because they don't think it's necessary, but - above all - because what will be saved will then be reinvested in the striker and Jashari. DS Tare hasn't given up yet... 🤔 Jashari, new episode coming? It's no secret, the Club Brugge midfielder is the Rossoneri's summer target, but the continuous rejections from the Belgians have turned the negotiation into a soap opera. Today the deal is on hold, but it's not excluded that Casa Milan will decide to raise the offer. The player's 'yes' has been clear for some time, now it's a matter of convincing the Belgians to let their midfielder go. If the negotiation were to fail completely, Tare could also decide not to look for a plan B and stick with the current squad in that area of the field, allocating the "Jashari package" elsewhere. Maybe even to the striker. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇮🇹 here. 📸 Francesco Pecoraro - 2025 Getty Images
