GdS: Pioli will bench Kessie in Udinese vs. Milan and it’s not just for rest

Franck Kessie hasn’t managed to live up to the great heights of last season and that is starting to cause a problem. As his renewal demands continue to remain very hefty, it’s a complicated situation on and off the pitch. 

The Ivorian’s contract will expire in the summer and Milan are yet to reach an agreement for a new one. The request from Kessie and his agent has been way too high lately and it has continued to increase, despite the drop in quality.

According to Gazzetta Dello Sport (via MilanNews), Kessie will start tonight’s game against Udinese on the bench. In other words, it’s a technical choice but also a mix with many games played lately.

In the summer, the midfielder promised to sort the contract situation as soon as he got back to Milan and that hasn’t happened yet. The fans, therefore, are rightfully disappointed with him and the situation is now very heated.
