AC Milan ‘will offer Arsenal Frank Kessie or Ricardo Rodriguez’ as part of £35m Lucas Torreira transfer
AC MILAN are prepared to offer Arsenal a choice of two players to land Lucas Torreira.
The Uruguay star is keen on a return to Italy after just a year in the Premier League, according to reports.
Midfielder Kessie, 22, joined Milan on an initial two-year loan deal from Atalanta in 2017 with an obligation to buy this summer.
The Ivory Coast star has made 96 appearances in all competitions, contributing 12 goals and eight assists.
But Milan are expected to go through with the deal and look to move Kessie on again as soon as possible, with the Emirates an ideal destination in order to get a deal done for Torreira.
Gunners boss Unai Emery is looking to bolster his midfield options regardless of whether the Uruguayan returns to Serie A.
But if he does not fancy Kessie, Milan will allow defender Ricardo Rodriguez to move to North London.
The 26-year-old Swiss international moved to the San Siro from Wolfsburg two years ago and has made 88 appearances.
Rodriguez’s versatility allows him to operate at left-back and in a more advanced role to provide competition for Saed Kolasinac.
