Sport: Barcelona midfielder open to Milan return with asking price set

AC Milan are interested in the idea of potentially re-signing Franck Kessie from Barcelona who is expected to leave in the summer, a report claims.

As reported by Sport, once the current LaLiga season is done and the title has been won by the Blaugrana, the Ivorian will also be notified that he can leave because the club desperately need to sell players.

It is not that Kessie has been dreadful, in fact the midfielder has given the club what they deem to be an ‘acceptable performance’ in his first campaign and they are ‘happy with him’, but Barca need a permanent sale to raise cash.

Inter are the club that have so far shown the biggest interest in signing him, and Kessie himself would definitely consider a move to the Nerazzurri or even a return to Milan, as per the Spanish source.

However, Barcelona believe that neither club will pay the asking price and any swap deal is no good to them, which is why Spurs – who were already keen in January – could make their move and Barca would sell for €25m+.
