Liverpool are claimed to have made a ‘very interesting’ offer to AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie as he prepares to leave the San Siro in 2022.
ANSA – the National Associated Press Agency of Italy – report that it is ‘more and more probable’ that Kessie will be leaving Milan in the summer.
It’s noted that Liverpool have made a ‘very interesting’ offer to Kessie, maybe in the hope of securing a pre-contract agreement.
Kessie is out of contract at the end of the season. That means Liverpool – and any other club – will be able to offer a pre-contract deal from January 1st.
Liverpool could now swoop to sign Kessie for free, possibly setting up a cut-price deal in January.
Liverpool fans may remember when Joel Matip signed a pre-contract agreement in 2016, agreeing to sign from Schalke.
It’s been a while since Liverpool struck a similar deal, but Kessie could be the one.
Kessie, 25, is one of the top box-to-box midfielders in Europe and has bagged five goals in Serie A this term.
Branded ‘devastating’ by Antonio Cassano, Kessie may now be ready to take a big step up with a move to the Premier League’s elite.
Liverpool didn’t replace Gini Wijnaldum, so Kessie could be seen as his eventual successor in Jurgen Klopp’s well-drilled midfield.
One thing to note is that The Express claim that Tottenham want to sign Kessie too. They may have a similar plan to Liverpool in terms of offering a pre-contract agreement.
It seems that Tottenham and Liverpool are ready to go head-to-head for Kessie, who has plenty to think about in January.
