CM: Liverpool ready to offer midfielder in exchange for expiring Milan star

By Isak Möller -

Franck Kessie is yet to renew his contract with AC Milan and inevitably, several big clubs are monitoring his situation with great interest. Liverpool are one of them and are ready to offer a player in exchange, a report claims. 

After his words at the Olympics, many expected Kessie to renew shortly after his return to Italy. However, that never happened and Milan are seemingly struggling to get his signature for the new deal, making a departure possible.

According to Calciomercato.com, in addition to Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham, Liverpool are also interested in the former Atalanta man. In fact, they are ready to offer Thiago Alcantara in exchange to secure Kessie in January.

Obviously, Milan are hoping that they can reach an agreement for the contract renewal before that, thus avoiding the need to evaluate a sale come January. With that said, the aforementioned deal would certainly be interesting.

  1. Take it. He’s several years older than Kessie but way more skilled. IMO good experienced player for us. I could see this happening even though it seems like clickbait. Plus thiago was actually born in Italy if I’m not mistaken although he plays for Spain.

  2. Thiago for Kessie? I would jump at the Offer. The real issue here is his wage. He collects €10m annually. Way too much for Milan Management

  3. Why don’t we just give kessie insentive; depending on this season we’ll adjust his pay.. he’ll want to play hard (again) and might just end up staying (esp if we win something)

    Regarding this case in general, it’s 40/70 in favor of club; we should have dealt with this before / offered more to him (which we then did) so at the end of the day, he is being antagonistic…. But hey, he could sign right now, I think he will otherwise he wouldn’t have spoken those words.

  4. i just remember that Baka play better than Kessie in their 1st season with Milan, Kessie younger & better defence but Baka isn’t worst at it,
    i believe if they in same condition (mentaly, convidence, shape etc) Baka is better than Kessie,
    i agree Kessie is more like new Nocerino in this Ibra era & moody Calha is new Boateng once he play below par he will disapear without Ibra…

  5. Like this will ever happen LOL. Liverpool have money and don’t need to do a swap deal. This is fantasy on Milan’s part. Wish it would be true as we are gonna lose Kessie anyways – but unfortunately we need to be realistic. This has a 1% chance at best of actually happening lol.
