Il Giorno: Kessie asks agent to explore Milan return amid Barcelona frustration – the situation

By Oliver Fisher -

Another source has claimed that Franck Kessie wants to return to AC Milan having not settled at Barcelona yet, according to a report.

It could be argued that Kessié’s departure has left Milan’s midfield weaker given that they have gone from having three guarantees (in addition to Sandro Tonali and Ismael Bennacer) to just two, while there is some physicality lacking in shielding the defence at times.

On the other hand, Kessie will hardly feel like his decision to join Barcelona has paid off so far. As reported by Il Giorno (via PianetaMilan), Kessié is ‘already tired of playing little’ and ‘not having many minutes’ under head coach Xavi.

According to the newspaper, the midfielder has asked his agent George Atangana to attempt new contact with Ricky Massara and Paolo Maldini at Milan about the possibility of a return.

However, it is a difficult hypothesis to materialise at the moment because of his salary, so a move to the Premier League or staying at Barca to fight for his space is more likely.

Carlo Pellegatti, a well-known Rossoneri journalist, spoke during a YouTube video last month and first made the shock revelation that Kessie actually wants to come back to Milan, a club where he held the appreciation of the fans and had a key role.

      1. Indeed! The best thing for the agent is to get his player switch teams in every transfer window and get huge signing bonuses every time. I bet he already placed an order for a new bathtub for showering sessions with his money.

        1. Yep. Raiola was a master of this. See Ibrahimovic and Balotelli, although the latter’s attitude certainly didn’t help (or did help if you were Raiola).

  1. He could become a leader of the new AC Milan but left for Barca. The transfer back is not possible considering his contract and salary. Goodbye Frank!

      1. Well, even then I would argue maybe it isn’t an exception, given the near 50% availability due to injuries. But I guess his greatest contribution has been in the locker room.

  2. Lol this is pretty much Cashie agent making rumor to attract Maldini & Masara attention so they can bail him out from Barca.

    But Maldini & Masara just doesn’t give a damn F anymore for a player who made his decision not to renew and left the club as a free agent.

    Served you right Cashie

  3. What a shame… This was an all out money move and he got it. Well done. I remember Seedorf saying ‘Focus on football first, the money will come”
    Guess the Kessie camp knew better. No way will M+M entertain any conversation. Enjoy the Europa Cup…. If u get a chance!

  4. sure he can return but he cannot start over Tonali and Bennacer…he can probably play the weekend games before champions league so the other two can get a rest
