Franck Kessie’s agent has reportedly offered the Milan midfielder to Inter, but the Ivory Coast international’s demands are too high for the Nerazzurri.
The Rossoneri and Kessie are struggling to reach an agreement and La Gazzetta dello Sport claims the club is hopeless for the renewal of his deal at San Siro.
The 24-year-old arrived at Milan in 2017, initially on loan, and signed a permanent deal with the Diavolo in 2019.
Kessie recently said he wanted to stay at Milan ‘forever’ but seems destined to move on when his current deal expires in June 2022.
Corriere della Sera reveals the players agent, George Atangana, has proposed a move to Inter.
The agent has contacted the directors at the Nerazzurri, but the economic demands of the agent don’t match the new cost policy at the Suning club.
Hakan Calhanoglu joined Simone Inzaghi’s team this summer, after his deal with Milan expired in June, but the newspaper claims a move to Inter seems unlikely for Kessie.
La Gazzetta dello Sport writes the two parties could agree a swap deal, but that Kessie wants €8m to sign, which is too much for Inter.
Milan, l’agente di Kessie lo propone all’Inter ma le richieste sono troppo alte anche per i nerazzurri https://t.co/F5s6Aaz1JH

I could only laugh at the thought of this. Unreal the low depths that some agents would stoop to. Sad really.
Of course, we don’t know for sure this actually happened, it could be some reporter’s fantasy. But if Kessie does leave, I’d much prefer it if he went to a foreign league. He’s a good player and I wouldn’t want him helping a rival for the Scudetto.
Also, this part is especially hilarious/horrifying: “La Gazzetta dello Sport writes the two parties could agree a swap deal”, referring to Kessie and Chala… can you imagine if he came back (and if Milan were stupid enough to accept such a deal)? The horror!
8M a year salary for a midfielder that lacks agility, and is morbidly slow. Good luck with that.
Money talks unfortunately, so he will probably end up to another oil club like P$G.
Their squad is too big, Marotta should be looking at unhappy players there (Paredes/Rafinha on loan + option to sign).
Oh for God sake just sign him up. Sick of this now. We’re owned by a hedge fund, they can afford it.
This drama is endless lol
Like it matters who Inter signs! In Champions League they are still going to set the record as the only Italian team to fail the Champions League group stage 3 ……4……5 years………in a row of course, Besides, Inter has Arturo Vidal ! how will the bars in Milan stay in business if he leaves ?
If he signs for Inter for anywhere near that 8m a year wage demand, it’s gonna cause a storm at their club. Players like Brozovic and Barella will demand at least the same.
They’re already dealing with the after effects of Cashanoglu signing.
I don’t really care about Kessie, clearly he’s another mercenary like Dollarumma. We’re better off.
