DBasia.news – Despite all the rumors surrounding a possible transfer to Barcelona, in reality it is Tottenham Hotspur who are leading the hunt for AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie.
Kessie’s contract with the Rossoneri is currently in its final few months and with no signs indicating he will renew his partnership with the club or that negotiations are ongoing. Now, it seems that his time with the Serie A giants will come to an end after half a decade.
According to reports from Sport, the Ivory Coast international’s future is likely to be at Spurs as the Premier League club are in pole position in the hunt. Not only that, they have even submitted an offer to convince him to beat their competitors which are clearly not small.
The reason is, there is competition from Spain that Tottenham have to face because the Blaugrana continue to follow the development of the 25-year-old midfielder’s situation with great interest considering they also like the Milan midfielder.
Lately, Barcelona have been heavily linked with the former Atalanta star and rumors are circulating that they have been in contact with his agent to discuss transfer opportunities, despite the player’s high salary demands.
Meanwhile, Spurs have actually wanted him for a long time and even had time to make a barter offer with the Rossoneri in order to bring him to North London in the transfer window last summer.
