There is still a distance between AC Milan and Franck Kessie over his renewal while interest from clubs abroad persists, according to a report.
Today’s edition of il Corriere dello Sport (via MilanLive) confirms that Kessie’s agent has asked for a salary of €8m net per year in order for the Ivorian to extend his current contractual deadline beyond June 2022. At the moment the Rossoneri management meanwhile do not want to increase their offer from €6m per year, and currently ‘the distance seems unbridgeable’.
The feeling from Milan is that the reason Kessie has rejected their offer – or rather has not accepted it – is because more cash-rich proposals arrived from foreign clubs, in particular from Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham.
Even if Leonardo denied any contacts, there is a belief that agent George Atangana has spoken to the Parisians, while Antonio Conte’s esteem for Kessie is already known. Now, we must wait and see what plays out.
