According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan midfielder Franck Kessié will likely snub a free transfer to Tottenham Hotspur in the summer as he prefers to stay in Serie A and both Inter and Juventus are interested.
Kessié has snubbed Milan’s contract offer worth €6.5m-a-year and is determined to leave the Rossoneri as a free agent at the end of the season.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter have already sounded out the midfielder’s availability, but the Nerazzurri will face competition from Juventus.
Tottenham Hotspur have also met the player’s agent, but Kessié seems willing to stay in Serie A.
The meeting with Spurs is described as ‘not positive’ as the Ivory Coast international prefers Serie A stay.
Inter signed Hakan Calhanoglu as a free agent from Milan last summer and hope Kessié will follow his former teammate’s path.
It remains to be seen if the Nerazzurri or Juventus will meet the player’s economic demands, given that he has reportedly asked for a new €8-9m deal at Milan.
