As anticipated by SportItalia, Franck Kessié does have a verbal agreement with those at FC Barcelona over a contract.
As per a recent rumour in Spain, Barcelona are not willing to meet Kessié's excessive demands. However, in Italy, some sources still continue to insist that Kessié and FC Barcelona never suspended their talks for a possible deal.
According to Nicolo Schira, negotiations for a possible transfer are still ongoing. Barcelona are very keen on signing the player on a Bosman deal. Franck Kessié, for his part, seems further away from renewing at Milan. A meeting between the agent of the Ivorian midfielder and the Blaugrana is scheduled in the next few days.
