Franck Kessie’s contract situation remains complicated as AC Milan’s offer is nowhere near the midfielder’s demands, a report claims.
Gianluca Di Marzio spoke to Sky Italia (via MilanNews) and gave an update on the negotiations between Milan and Kessie for the potential extension of the Ivorian’s contract, confirming that it is at a ‘difficult point’.
The more time passes, the more complicated it becomes to find an agreement because Milan have offered €6-6.5m net per season, with bonuses on top of that, but the request is much higher as Kessie wants close to €9m per year to renew.
It is a very high request and Milan have no intention to approach it having made their stance clear on keeping a sustainable and sensible wage budget, so if Kessie does not lower his demands then it becomes very unlikely to imagine that the two parties will be able to find an agreement.
