Not as an equal, but in importance to the squad and team. Kessie was as vital as Ibra was last season, Ibra even went missing for long periods due to injury.

Now whether the management would succumb to his demands is another story, i personally think they won't as already exemplified by Hakan and Donnarumma, it wouldn't make sense to give in to him.

I'm about 90% confident he's gone, in fact he was conveniently reported 'injured' in the last 10 days of the market. Its usually an elaborate ploy by directors to keep players not playing the first few games of the season so they can sell.

milan can do a good favor by fulfilling his wish where he can earn more in EPL or PSG.
then they can look into bakayoko and Adli. team moved on from donnarumma and hakan sales and they will move on from Frank too.

he has been incredible player last year, whoever gets him would be lucky

Zlatan's importance to Milan in his second stint goes well beyond him on the pitch. The bigger story thats become is more so his off pitch personality and of course leadership that he's developed and stamped into milanello that is why his return is a critical success for us.

Each player absolutely loves him and Piolol knows his importance augmented his entire squad.


Kessie also has that, over time but just not the ultimate influence that Zlatan has had.

The entourage of Franck Kessie and Tottenham are close to reaching an agreement over personal terms, reports @RudyGaletti.

What have we done to deserve this?

ES and M99 on suicide watch

I can't even make laugh of it because I am in same situation for Brozovic, I mean it's easier he goes away rather staying

It becomes very very difficult today to not lose a player with just a year of contract, anway clubs have responsability for it, you never should to arrive in this situation

However, you can't realistically avoid it without killing the club's finances.

Milan has arrived at €6.5M/year offer to renew Kessie’s contract while his request is close to €9M. If his request isn’t lowered finding an agreement will be difficult

Unreal

Inter, the Serie A champions, haven't even made an offer to that extend for Barella

He'd be the highest paid player in the league

Yeah, he's gone

Gross incompetence from management to not sell in summer. He needs to be sold in January. Conte pls threaten Levy to make a bid for him.

we need to be ALL over him ffs

doubt he's even on our radar though, not when we have Mctominumpty, in the clubs eyes anyway

Wouldn't go a penny over 5M a year. Fuck off.

I never really cared about Kesshit to be honest. Just like Donnarumma past year 2 to even Hakan who I endlessly hyped and put faith in and like the Turk, Kessie had only one good year at best with us and like the peasant he is thinks he is deserving of a superstar salary.

Cannot wait to be rid of him.

Very good player that's demanding elite player level of salary.

The club's offering of 6-6.5 is highly inflated and not suitable. If we don't make the CL knockout round (most likely scenario), we should accept any offer.

However, I don't think he will agree to leave, and no club will offer his salary demands on top of paying a transfer fee.

Expect more players to do these kinds of deals in the future, especially with the PL flush with funds.

His refusal means that is there some insane who offers him 8-9 mln every year ?

He even caused penalty kick and missed an easy open winning-chance on 90' just some days ago, he 's got a lot of nerve lol

PL clubs and PSG

Free agents usually do get a huge salary, Wijnaldum is on a €9.5m at PSG, i think many clubs can satisfy his requests

You guys should tie down your players as well, since these kinds of wages are impossible to sustain in Italy.

At least there are some players with honor and perspective around.

He really is a complete midfielder, defensive monster, technical beast, he's got it all, and couple that with an insane stamina and the humbleness to do whatever the coach asks of him.

If he ever leaves, i really hope he goes to City, there something that tells he will be a glovefit for that Rodri/Fernandinho role

He's been pocketed by Matheus Enrique yesterday.

Is he renewing with Milan? Is he going somewhere else?

Most definitely not renewing on our terms, uncertain whether he will leave now or in summer

He's most likely gone in summer

Shame, I've been watching him at AFCON and he is a step above the whole competition.

Hope you get good money for him at least.

We won't get anything for him. He will go for free. Or we can sign hi for 8.5 million a year

Barça are in advanced negotiations to sign Franck Kessié on a free in the summer. [cat radio]

Accordo verbale tra #Kessie ed il #Barcellona per giugno quando scadrà il contratto con il #Milan del centrocampista. Nessuna firma per il momento ma i #Blaugrana puntano ad arrivare alla definizione dei dettagli con l’entourage del giocatore. @tvdellosport
