CM: Kessie hoping for perfect San Siro farewell with Atalanta a protagonist again

By Oliver Fisher -

Franck Kessie is about to play his last two games as an AC Milan player before he leaves on a free transfer, and he wants to sign off in style.

Calciomercato.com report how Kessie’s time in Italy – after spells at Atalanta, Cesena and Milan – is coming to an end. Kessie will leave the Rossoneri as he has already signed with Barcelona and from 1 July his new adventure in Catalonia will begin.

It is a move that has split Milan fans, some of whom still choose to jeer the reading of his name by the PA system at San Siro, angry after his interview in the summer which made his renewal seem like a formality, but others do not begrudge him the chance to try something different after half a decade.

On Sunday at 6pm Kessie will have his San Siro curtain call and there is plenty of motivation: beating his former team Atalanta would bring Milan to only one point from winning the title, and would provide the perfect stage to say goodbye.

Atalanta always seem to be a protagonist in Kessie’s story too, after playing for them, losing 5-0 against the Nerazzurri in Bergamo and then scoring a brace in the 2-0 victory at the Gewiss Stadium to secure Champions League qualification.

  1. We will forgive him and be pleased with him if he help us defeat his formal club,after all winning the league is more important to us than losing Kessie to Barcelona ,that’s my opine
    Forza Milan

    1. Forgive? No. It’s only natural for a player to give 100%, its their name engraved when they win a trophy not ours, the fans. Said that Milan is in a not that good financial situation, have not been for years and losing main players on free (last year 2, now him) is and has to be unacceptable. With those 2 and him we could’ve made 100-150M€ and Milan needs cash. I dont blame either 3 for moving on to something new but i dont like how they did it

      1. Exactly, it’s not just the fans, the players can Make or Mar their names….. So, let him just go! He won’t bee missed! Greater players coming❤️🖤

      2. Well but arguably, it’s possible we won’t be in this Scudetto race had Kessie gone in the January, as we lose one of our main man and even if we buy someone, there’s no guarantee that he will be adapted quickly or give the same impact as Kessie.

        I don’t like that he gone for free, but at this point let’s just hope that we really get Scudetto and hope the best for Kessie till the end of season, as he is still a Milan player until then.

  2. Cashie must feel some remorse now, knowing Milan will get better and richer. something he can’t be part of anymore!!! adieu Cashie I will not miss you.

  3. players are people and have the right to change their minds as well as their situations. I thank him for remaining fierce and showing integrity every
    time he steps on the pitch. I wish
    him well , for I am married to the Red & Black
    not the player. Lets go get this Scudetto. Forza Milan! solo con ti sempre con ti
