Manchester United want reinforcements in the midfield and are interested in hiring the services of Franck Kessie from Barcelona.
According to a report covered by Mundo Deportivo, Man Utd, Tottenham and Chelsea are three PL sides crazy about signing the Ivorian international.
Transfer: Man Utd plot move to to finally sign £50million star – Report
The Catalan news source have mentioned that Erik ten Hag wants to bolster things in the center of the park and thinks that Kessie will perfectly fit in at Old Trafford.
Barcelona were able to sign the African star on a free transfer last year and he reportedly earns a salary of 9 million euros per season i.e. around £150,000 a week (FT).
The 26-year-old is mainly a defensive midfielder but has proved to be brilliant in the creative central midfield role as well.
In the 2020-21 season, Kessie directly contributed in 20 goals in all competitions for AC Milan. Moreover, he was an important player in the Rossoneri squad that lifted the Scudetto trophy last season.
MD claim the versatile midfielder prefers to focus on Barcelona but in all fairness, he needs to leave in order to play regular first team football.
Since moving to the Nou Camp, the 60-capped Ivorian has only started four games in the Spanish La Liga for the Blaugrana.
The Red Devils splashed a huge amount of cash to Casemiro in the last summer transfer window. The Samba star is one of the best defensive midfielders in the world.
In your opinion, do Man Utd really need to sign Franck Casemiro?
