AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessié has obviously imposed himself as one of the main elements for club head coach Stefano Pioli in the latter's way to secure Champions League football for the next season.
Even though, with the departures of Gianluigi Donnarumma and Hakan Calhanoglu, who both turned down renewal proposals, the club's management could now focus on the extension of the Ivory Coast international, with whom they are yet to find an agreement to extend his contract expiring by the end of the upcoming campaign.
According to what was reported by SportMediaset, a financial gap between the two parties is still existent, as the Rossoneri have offered 4 million euros per season, while the 24-year-old is requesting up to 5M.
Anyway, negotiating are still ongoing, and optimism to complete the renewal is still there, as learned by the aforementioned source.
