AC Milan’s management have been left stunned by the amount that Franck Kessie and his entourage are asking for to renew his deal, a report claims.
This morning’s edition of il Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews) writes that Milan are working under the radar for the renewal of Kessie as owners Elliott Management fully intend to make an effort to keep the midfielder at Milan, but the renewal – as explained by Maldini – must fall within certain reasonable boundaries set by the slub.
The requests of the Ivorian’s entourage seems to have left the Rossoneri managers ‘astonished’ as he asked for a salary of €8.5m per year net including bonuses, and they are beginning to think that despite the midfielder’s recent declarations of love, he actually has the intention of reaching the end of his deal, so as to snatch the best salary next summer.
The report even mentions to keep an eye on Tottenham and PSG as potential suitors for the 24-year-old.
