Manchester United are looking to sign a defensive midfielder this summer and reports indicate that a Barcelona star would be prepared to move to Old Trafford.
According to a story published by Mundo Deportivo yesterday (news image provided below), Franck Kessie may end up leaving the Spanish champions soon.
Transfer: Deal close – Man Utd now reach £30million asking fee to sign star
The renowned Catalan outlet claim that the Ivory Coast international’s main desire is to stay with the Blaugrana.
However, if Barca are ready to offload him, then he only wants to move to the Premier League and does not want to return to the Serie A where Juventus want him.
MD claim Kessie is willing to sign for Manchester United or any of the ‘Big Six’ PL club i.e. Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs.
Tottenham and Chelsea did not even finish in the top six last season and will not feature in any European competition in the next campaign.
The African star made over 200 appearances for AC Milan and won the Serie A title before joining Barcelona in 2022.
Last season, he made 43 appearances for the Catalan giants but was mainly a bench warmer as he only started 16 games in all competitions.
Kessie’s current contract at the Nou Camp will expire in 2026 and reports in Spain (AS) this summer have indicated that he is valued at around 35 million euros (£30m).
In your view, who should Erik ten Hag sign to reinforce the DM position at Man Utd?
