CM: Milan continuing full steam ahead to sign No.1 target to replace Kessie | OneFootball

AC Milan are getting ready to bid farewell to Franck Kessie and they do not want to be caught unprepared when he does depart, a report claims.

Calciomercato.com report that Kessie will play his last game for the club on Sunday against Sassuolo before going to try a new experience abroad with Barcelona, and the management know that a quality signing will be needed to replace him.

The hottest name and the one that Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara have been working for the longest time remains that of Renato Sanches, who is seen as the ideal profile to come in and fill the void left by the Ivorian’s exit.

Contacts and talks with Lille and Sanches’ agent Jorge Mendes are ongoing and Milan want to have everything in place before the summer transfer market officially opens, so as to avoid the risk of a competitor swooping in and beating them to the 24-year-old.
