Franck Kessié is one of the most important pieces for Stefano Pioli's system and vision for this technical project of AC Milan. His contract expires next year and the club cannot afford to lose his services.
As reported by Corriere della Sera, AC Milan owners, Elliott fund gave the go-ahead to Milan management in the technical area to discuss the extension of the player and try to close the deal.
The player's entourage is demanding 6 million euros net per season as salary and Paolo Maldini as well as Frederic Massara are offering a little less than that: 5.5 million euros.
Therefore, there is a short distance between the demand and offer. The directors of the Rossoneri club will meet with Kessié's agent, George Atangana, to close the deal.
