Leonardo: ‘PSG not in talks with Kessié’

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.

Theo to snub Man City and PSG and extend with Milan

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.
