Frank Kessie Set To Become Cote D’Ivoire’s Second Export To Barca

Free from any contractual terms in the upcoming summer, AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie (5 goals in 23 Serie A games this season) is set to join FC Barcelona during the summer transfer window.

If the deal goes through smoothly, he will be only the second player from Cote D’Ivoire to play for Football Club Barcelona, after Yaya Toure. Toure featured 118 times for Barca, collecting seven pieces of silverware in the process.

More than a week ago, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano announced an agreement between the player’s entourage and that of the Blaugrana.

Since then, the situation has improved. The Ivorian has reportedly passed his medical examination in Switzerland, conducted a few days ago.

He will go ahead to sign four seasons with an annual salary of 6.5 million euros.

A pillar of his AC Milan team currently atop the Italian championship, the latter will bring an additional impetus to the Catalan giants, aged 25.

the arrival of the former Atalanta player represents a nice business on the market.
