Franck Kessié’s time at AC Milan is coming to an end with the two parties having failed to find an agreement over a new contract. His current deal expires in June.
The midfielder’s contract situation has seen him get linked to clubs in Italy and aboard. For the latter, there is Tottenham Hotspur.
A week ago, MilanNews.it reported a move to the north London club remains the ‘most concrete’ possibility for the 25-year-old in the summer.
The Ivory Coast international spent a season on loan at Cesena and his then manager, Massimo Drago, backed the player to join Antonio Conte’s side in the next window.
Barcelona have also been named as a suitor for Stefano Pioli’s man. However, Sport has a short report stating the Catalan club have ‘discarded’ the option to sign him.
It’s claimed Kessié’s ‘arrival has been ruled out’ by Barca’s sporting leaders, after knowing the ‘bulky economic conditions’ requested by both him and his agent.
Kessié, for his part, is handling ‘offers from other clubs’ and this includes Spurs, Juventus and Inter Milan.
With Barcelona discarding the option to sign the former Atalanta man, Sport explain Tottenham and the two Serie A sides are ‘bidding’ to secure Kessié’s services.
