According to the latest from Sky Italia (via MilanNews), Kessie is considered one of the irreplaceable players at Milan along with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Gianluigi Donnarumma. The club have proposed a renewal to the Ivorian at €3.5million per year, but the player does not appear to be satisfied.

Maldini and Massara intend to lock him up while paying attention to the accounts, as a conscious effort has been made to bring the wage budget down, but as mentioned Kessie is a player the team cannot do without.
