Franck Kessie is gearing up to return to the field and put on the Milan shirt again, but he will do so against a backdrop of uncertainty.
Calciomercato.com writes that Kessie’s future is still very much all to play for as his renewal has not arrives, with anxiety growing given that his contract expires at the end of this season and reports of other interested clubs are beginning to grow.
Paris Saint-Germain remain in the background waiting to pounce and their sporting director Leonardo has had conversations with Paolo Maldini about a potential deal. In the meantime, Kessie – who missed the first two games of the season due to a muscle problem – is ready to return to the field and thus start his 2021-22 season.
The Ivorian will begin work with the rest of the squad ahead of crucial games against Lazio, Liverpool and Juventus. In the first he will battle with a top midfielder like Milinkovic-Savic and then he will make his debut in the Champions League. He wants to have his say on the pitch, while we wait to know his future off it.
