Linked for a long time with a potential move to Tottenham, Franck Kessiè’s future remains up in the air for the time being.
The Ivory Coast international’s contract at Milan expires at the end of the season, and it appears it’s not even close to being renewed.
That’s what TuttoMercatoWeb are reporting on Wednesday, claiming that everything is ‘uphill’ for a new contract, and talks are ‘at a total standstill’.
It’s believed he could follow in the footsteps of Gianluigi Donnarumma and leave on a free, with Paris Saint-Germain ready to accommodate him in France.
In fact, the Ligue 1 side ‘would be ready to actually triple his salary’ to convince him to choose them, a figure ‘not even Tottenham are able to reach’.
It’s pointed out that Conte is a ‘long-time admirer’ of the player, but a move for him will likely all depend on Daniel Levy and how much money he is willing to throw at the player to please his manager.
We’ll have to wait and see, but it appears Spurs are losing ground in this race, with names such as Corentin Tolisso and such potentially more affordable options.
