Franck Kessié, or as the fans like to call him 'Il Presidente', has an expiring contract next season and Milan does not want to lose his services. He is valued highly.
The player's season, however, should be starting soon already as he will take part in the Olympics scheduled from 23 July to 8 August.
The strong defensive midfielder, 24, should also be participating with his national team in the African Cup in January.
Milan were informed of Kessié's participation in the olympics and have given the green light. Paolo Maldini and the rest of the staff at Milanello are convinced that he will return in an excellent physical shape.
The Rossoneri chiefs at Casa Milan cannot afford to let the player walk away on a free like Hakan Calhanoglu and Gianluigi Donnarumma. That is why there is the aim to extend his stay at the San Siro. The talks will continue, even when Kessie is in Japan.
The number 79 of the team earns currently 2.2 million euros. His entourage asks for 6 million euros now. The club executives put on the plate an offer of 4 million euros per season with bonuses. There will be more time to negotiate and reach an agreement, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport.
