AC Milan is set to face Liverpool F.C at the Anfield stadium in the first matchday of the Champions League group B.
That match could be a chance for both management to discuss some business together relating to the next transfer market window.
In fact, as Franck Kessié is very important to the Rossoneri coach's lineup, Milan does not want to lose him for free like what happened with Gianluigi Donnarumma and Hakan Calhanoglu, especially given that PSG and Tottenham as well as Liverpool are reportedly keen on the midfielder's services.
According to the knowledge of IlMilanista.it, in September 15, when the two clubs meet in view of their Champions League fixture, Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara will propose an exchange that sees Franck Kessié and Thiago Alcantara swap shirts.
The report adds that the operation would be an equal exchange in January, which would please everyone involved and avoid the free transfer.
