Roma director Umberto Gandini has confirmed interest in Atalanta midfielder Franck Kessie.

Kessie is expected to leave Atalanta this summer and has offers from across Europe.

Gandini said, “There is too much talk about the transfer market... Of course we are interested in him, absolutely, just as I think he is of interest to other clubs too.

“A deal has to be worked out between three parties: those who sell, those who buy and the player himself. We'll see how it ends up."
