La Gazzetta dello Sport reports Franck Kessie and Milan are still struggling to close the gap in the contract negotiations.
The Ivory Coast international’s deal expires next summer and the midfielder, who was sent off with two yellow cards in the 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid, is currently not agreeing with the Rossoneri.
The newspaper claims there are no developments in the talks, as each party remains adamant in their respective offer and demand.
Milan have reportedly offered Kessie a new deal until June 2026, with an annual salary worth €6.5m a season.
The midfielder and his agent currently ask for €8m, according to the report, a gap that none of them are flexible to bridge.
Milan are hoping to avoid losing Kessie on a free transfer like Hakan Calhanoglu and Gigio Donnarumma this summer, but the newspaper reveals they are not getting closer to reaching an agreement.
