Tottenham can take a goal from Madrid

Negotiations between Franck Kessié, who ends his contract next June 2022, and AC Milan have deteriorated over the months. What at first seemed like conversations that could come to fruition, with the Ivorian-coast midfielder extending his link with the team Red-black, it has ended up becoming an operation that is more and more likely to be closed. And it is that from Italy they already point out that Kessié will not renew his contract with the Milan team and will end up leaving the club during the next summer transfer market as a free agent, just like Gianluigi Donnarumma and Hakan Calhanoglou did last summer. Many have been the clubs that have been interested in the situation of the 25-year-old midfielder in recent months, including Real Madrid. However, the future of the Ivorian could finally be in the Premier League.

From the Italian newspaper The newspaper They suggest that Tottenham would have run as the main candidate to take over the services of Franck Kessié if he ends up leaving the Rossonera discipline next June as a free agent. “The Spurs they have already contacted the Ivorian environment to overcome the competition from Manchester United and Arsenal “, add this medium. And, after overtaking the Whites in the negotiations, the Londoners have a tough competitor in the race for the AC Milan player also in France. Paris Saint-Germain would be another of the teams that have Franck Kessié’s name on their list of objectives. In the case of Tottenham, from Italy they speak of the still Milan player as “an express request from Antonio Conte.”

Franck Kessié is an indisputable one in Stefano Pioli’s schemes. The Ivorian-coast midfielder, who is completing his fifth season in Milan, has played 21 games so far this year, 17 of them in the starting XI. But despite being an indispensable piece in the core rossonera, the chances of continuing at San Siro next year are less. Although the statements of Paolo Maldini, AC Milan’s sports director, seemed to distance Real Madrid from his signing, the financial claims that the player’s agent has demanded from the Milan team make his continuity complicated. While PSG could launch for Kessié to satisfy the unfulfilled claims with the signing of Giorginio Wijnaldum, in Tottenham the more than possible departure of Tanguy Nbomdélé would leave a hole in the center of the ideal field for the Ivorian coast.
