Franck Kessie’s agent was present at the Gewiss Stadium for the match between Atalanta and Milan in Serie A on Sunday.
Milan picked up a 3-2 win after another great performance against La Dea, with Kessie’s agent George Atangana in the stands.
The Ivory Coast international is negotiating a new deal with the Rossoneri, but the reports in Italian media claim there’s still a big gap between the offer from the club and player’s the request.
The player’s agent was approached by Telelombardia and asked about the current situation of the former Atalanta midfielder.
“Ask the directors,” Atangana told the broadcaster. “I’m just here for the game.”
Kessie has entered his last year of his contract at Milanello, but during the Olympic games in Tokyo this summer, the 24-year-old said he would love to ‘stay at Milan forever’.
He arrived from Atalanta on an initial paid loan in July 2017, before completing a permanent move to Milan in 2019.
The operation reportedly cost €34m in total and Kessie has since established himself as a vital player at the Diavolo – appearing 191 times, contributing 30 goals and 15 assists.
