AC Milan's midfielder, who played a big part of the team achieving Champions League football qualification last season, has an expiring contract. He does not seem likely to put pen to paper on a new deal that would tie him to the San Siro for a few more years.
The Rossonero number 79 has reportedly attracted interest from different clubs in Europe such as Tottenham and FC Barcelona. The former Atalanta player represents an interesting opportunity to clubs who seek to add some more quality to their respective squads.
According to a report by Gianluca Di Marzio today, negotiations are in fact well underway between Franck Kessié and Spanish giants Barcelona. There has been a strong acceleration from the Blaugrana who have offered a salary of 6.5 million euros per season.
The expert journalist claims that, at the moment, FC Barcelona, who are coached by their former legendary midfielder Xavi, are the favourites to land Franck Kessié on a free in the summer once his deal with AC Milan expires.
