CorSport: Kessie agrees to join Barcelona but Milan are unmoved for three reasons

Franck Kessie already has a verbal agreement in place with Barcelona which will soon turn into a signature, according to a report.

As written today by il Corriere dello Sport (via SempreMilan.it), Kessié has indeed agreed term with the Blaugrana and will play for them from the start of next season, but his decision does not seem to have greatly disappointed the Milan management.

Instead, there was no drama from inside Casa Milan regarding the fact that Kessie has chosen to agree a contract elsewhere while fighting for two trophies with the Rossoneri, and the reason for it is very clear.

Firstly, the precedents of Calhanoglu and Donnarumma have accustomed the club to this type of situation. Then, there is the fact it is more important for a club to keep their accounts in order than to win a trophy under huge deficits. The third reason is that a growing number of players are leaving their clubs on a free transfer across Europe, so the decision reflects less badly on Milan with wider context.
