Chelsea and Manchester United might face off for AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie in a trade war. Chelsea are apparently in contact with Kessie's management, which could jeopardise United's hopes to sign him.
Franck Kessie, an AC Milan midfielder, will be one of many quality players who will become free agents at the end of the season. Kessie's current contract is set to expire in six months, and the Rossoneri are attempting to persuade the Ivorian to extend his stay at the club. Kessie joined AC Milan in 2019 and has had a career full of ups and downs in the Italian capital. Manchester United has been touted as the frontrunner to capture Kessie from AC Milan in recent weeks. With the likes of Paul Pogba and Donny Van De Beek ready to leave the club, signing Kessie will cover the vacuum left in the midfield, as the Ivorian midfielder can play in a variety of positions.
Chelsea, according to 90 Minute, has also entered the race to recruit Kessie. The Blues are looking to sign a midfielder this summer, as Saul Niguez is likely to return to Atletico Madrid following a year on loan. Tuchel's style is ideal for Kessie, who can play as a ball-winning midfielder in the middle of the park for the Blues. According to the report, Liverpool and Tottenham are also interested in signing Kessie, who will be available for free in June 2022.
