La Gazzetta dello Sport reports Franck Kessie’s salary demands pushes him further and further away from a future at Milan, with Paris Saint-Germain monitoring the midfielder’s situation.
The Ivory Coast international has yet to reach an agreement with the Rossoneri over a new deal at San Siro, but both the player and the club have consistently been saying they want to continue together.
Kessie has not played in Serie A 2021-22 due to injury, but seems set for a return after the current international break and the club hopes he will commit to the club by signing a new deal.
Milan are desperate to renew with Kessie, after losing Hakan Calhanoglu and Gianluigi Donnarumma for free after 2020-21, but the Rossoneri can’t match the player’s demands.
Kessie’s current deal expires in June 2022 and Paris Saint-Germain are, according to the newspaper, willing to offer him the requested €8m a season.
A few weeks ago, Milan reportedly offered Kessie a new deal worth €6.5m a year to stay at Milanello, but the player is asking for a superstar salary.
The 24-year-old arrived from Atalanta in July 2017, initially on a two-year loan deal. He signed a permanent deal with the club in 2019 which expires next year.
