Man Utd, Barcelona target Kessie rejects AC Milan contract offer

Franck Kessie has resisted a new contract offer from AC Milan.

Sky Italia's Gianluca di Marzio reports Milan have raised their offer to €6.5million (£5.5m) a year but the Ivory Coast international is holding out for around €9m (£7.7m) per year.

The 24-year-old has attracted interest from all around Europe including Manchester United, PSG and Barcelona with his contract due to expire next summer.

The central midfielder is free to sign a pre-contract with any European club in January which would set in place a move for the following season.

Kessie has previously attracted interest from Spurs with managing director Fabio Paratici having reportedly met with the player's agent George Atangana back in the summer over a potential move.
