Franck Kessié is a pillar for the Rossoneri. He has excelled with Stefano Pioli's instructions in the starting lineup under the role of a double pivot.
His contract expires at the end of next season in 2022. Milan will want to renew his deal and keep him because he's a very important piece of the formation system that proved to be successful for the coach.
According to what is reported by Il Corriere dello Sport, the player's entourage asked for a salary that is worth 6 million euros per season. However, Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara have submitted a counter offer that is worth 3.5 million euros per season.
The newspaper explains how the departure of Gianluigi Donnarumma will give more flexibility to the budget allocated to player wages so there could be room to maneuvre.
In the coming weeks, both parties shall be meeting soon to find an agreement.
