Man Utd transfer target Franck Kessie’s agent slams AC Milan’s contract offer with midfielder set to move for FREE
MANCHESTER UNITED transfer target Franck Kessie looks set to leave AC Milan at the end of the season.
The midfielder's agent has slammed the Italians for their latest contract offer with his deal running out next summer.
The 24-year-old Ivory Coast international has been linked with a move to Old Trafford after a series of impressive performances.
With his contract at Milan into the final year, the midfielder's future appears to lie away from the club.
Milan have offered him a new contract but the midfielder's agent is unimpressed with their initial offer.
George Atangana told Calciomercato.com: "An important player needs a contract that is up to his standards.
“There was a formal offer from the club and a request from the agent, but we are talking about figures a long way off what you are referring to [£6.5million a year].
“For too long people have been saying things in the wrong way. I am sorry for those who read these stories and believe them to be true.”

The rising star reportedly wants an €8million annual salary which works out to around £132,000-a-week.
And United have reportedly lined him up as a potential replacement for Paul Pogba.
