FC Barcelona want to take this opportunity to publicly thank Franck for his commitment and dedication, and to wish him all the best and every success in the future.

FC Barcelona announced Franck Kessie was joining the squad last summer, after the Ivory Coast midfielder's contract with AC Milan ended. The 26 year old had spent five seasons with the Italian side.

Despite not being a consistent starter, he played a key role during the season for Xavi Hernández' side. He featured in 43 games, starting in 16, playing a total of 1803 minutes for the Club, mostly in the second part of the season. Pre-World Cup he was the 19th most used player to have played 12 games. Post-World Cup, he was the 12th most used player.

Allied with his strength, power, and reading of the game, the midfielder has shown his hunger for scoring goals, including at key moments, and for assisting in important games. Kessié performed particularly well against Real Madrid. The Copa del Rey first leg semifinal saw him cause an own goal to put the Club in control of the tie, and in LaLiga, he scored a memorable goal in added time to keep Barça 12 points ahead of their opponents in second place, as well as being goal 3000 scored at the Spotify Camp Nou.

Franck Yannick Kessié (born 19 December 1996) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a central or defensive midfielder for Saudi Pro League club Al Ahli and the Ivory Coast national team.

On 4 July 2022, Barcelona announced that they had reached an agreement with Kessiè after his contract expires with AC Milan and on 6 July, he signed a four-year deal until 30 June 2026, and his buy out clause will be set at €500m.

On 13 August 2022, he made his debut for the club, as a substitute to Pedri, in a 0–0 draw against Rayo Vallecano in the league. On 19 March 2023, Kessiè scored the winning goal against Real Madrid in El Clasico, his first for the club, hitting home Alejandro Balde's cutback in the 92nd minute to make it 2–1 for the Blaugrana. Kessiè's strike was the 3,000th goal scored by Barcelona at the Spotify Camp Nou in La Liga.

On 9 August 2023, Kessie joined Saudi Pro League club Al Ahli in a €12.5m deal.
