Franck Kessie remains undecided on his future beyond this season, with Barcelona still in contact with his agent over a deal, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Kessie’s contract with Milan expires in June and despite the club tabling an offer to renew – as per multiple sources – the midfielder is yet to sign a new deal.
According to Romano, Barcelona have been in touch with Kessie’s agent since December, but the race to secure his services remains open, with other clubs also showing interest.
The Ivorian is yet to make a final choice, but won’t be short of options. Milan are prepared to retain Kessie should he drop his excessive wage demands, while Premier League sides have also been regularly linked with him in the past 12 months.
Kessie has been key in Milan’s resurgence under Stefano Pioli and has featured 24 times in all competitions this season, but does not feel completely irreplaceable.
