The contract that currently is in place will expire in the summer and with January approaching fast, a free transfer seems increasingly likely. According to Gazzetta Dello Sport (via MilanNews), the statement continues between the parties.
Milan initially put €6.5m per year on the table but in order for a deal to go through, Kessie would have to convince on the pitch after what has been a tough period. And besides, the request of the midfielder and his agent is still at €8m.
That is the amount that Paris Saint-Germain have supposedly offered, per the report, and it remains to be seen if Kessie will proceed with this option. In short, the negotiation is far from unlocked.
