PSG director Leonardo insists the Ligue 1 giants are not in talks with Milan star Franck Kessié.
The Ivorian midfielder’s contract at San Siro expires at the end of the season and he seems destined to leave the club as a free agent in the summer.
Despite lengthy talks, the club and the player’s entourage have not reached an agreement yet and from January, Kessié will be free to sign a pre-contract agreement with any other club ahead of a free move in the summer.
PSG, Tottenham and Liverpool are reportedly interested in securing the player’s services, but PSG director Leonardo has denied that the Ligue 1 giants are in talks with the player.
“We haven’t contacted any player, there’s nothing with Franck Kessié or Theo Hernandez,” Leonardo told media after PSG’s 2-1 win over Lille.
The Frenchman has also been linked with a move to Paris, but, contrary to Kessié, he is expected to sign a contract extension with Milan until June 2026.

Sure, Leo! And I just passed Elon Musk on the rich list!
So Kessie and Theo to PSG in the summer then. Makes me nostalgic for the time they took Silva and Ibra.
Someone needs to put a muzzle on this dog, he has no business publicly talking about other clubs players while they still have more than 6 months on their contracts. Pretty much all other clubs at least show a degree of respect towards the other clubs but not this guy, he has no class whatsoever, and to think he even played for us makes it so much worse
