Franck Kessié has an expiring contract with AC Milan at the end of this current season. The midfielder from Cote d'Ivoire is highly sought by some top clubs, as reported by different outlets.
The player's abilities and physicality make him wanted by many managers who see his potential and strength in the middle of the pitch.
According to what is reported by Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have already identified two players to strengthen their midfield. One is Paul Pogba from Manchester United while the other is Kessié.
According to the source, Paul Pogba is the desired profile for his brand and name, it would be a great hit for the mercato, but there is too much competition for the France international.
But, it seems that the Blaugrana will also struggle in securing the player on a free transfer because now PSG are also in the race. In fact, the French club is looking to repeat the same operation done with Gianluigi Donnarumma. Liverpool, Tottenham and serie A rivals, Juventus, are also showing interest in signing the former Atalanta player.
There could be another race, similar to that of Wijnaldum. Barça, if they want Kessié, will have to move quickly and close the deal swifly, or PSG will 'steal' the deal again.
