FC Barcelona have confirmed the signing of Franck Kessié on a free transfer.
Kessie, 25, recently helped AC Milan to their first Scudetto in 11 years. The midfielder joins Barcelona on a free transfer after coming to the end of his contract with Milan. He joins Barca on a deal until 30 June 2026.
The Catalan club have also locked in a €500 million release clause.
The midfielder started his career at Stella Club d’Adjame in his home country before moving to Italy in 2014 to sign for Atalanta.
After an impressive 2016-17 campaign with Atalanta, Kessié attracted the attention of Milan. He signed for the Rossoneri in 2017 on loan before the move was made permanent in the summer of 2019, Milan paying €33 million for his services.
In his five seasons with Milan, he made 223 appearances for the Rossoneri, scoring 37 goals and assisting 16 times.
Kessié is the club’s first signing of the summer. There is also an agreement in place with former Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen, who will be presented on 7 July.
