Franck Kessie’s contract will expire at the end of the season and it seems he has decided to leave AC Milan then. In fact, he’s now in advanced talks with Barcelona over a contract, a report claims.
Since the summer of last year, Milan have been in talks with the entourage of Kessie over a contract renewal. The talks have stalled lately, though, as both parties have refused to budge on their respective stance.
A summer exit is looking increasingly likely and some would say that it has been more or less decided. According to Spanish outlet Sport, Barcelona have intensified talks with Kessie and his entourage over a free transfer.
The parties are getting closer to each other money-wise, the report states, and that’s why an agreement isn’t far away. For now, though, Kessie will have to stay focused on Milan as he will start in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final against Inter on Tuesday.
