AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie has reportedly rejected the advances of Tottenham to move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as he wants to honour his current contract.
Tottenham and Milan have been in talks for a few days now about Kessie and an agreement was reportedly reached, but the player put a stop to things, not wanting to make the move to England, according to Calciomercato.com.
The 25-year-old is set to become a free agent in just over five months’ time with his contract up at the end of June, but he wants to stay and be a part of the Serie A title race as Rossoneri look to be crowned champions for the first time since 2010/11.
Milan have reportedly offered the Ivory Coast international a salary of £5.4million a year but Kessie has so far resisted all offers of an extension.
He is however free to sign a pre-contract agreement with any European club.
Kessie initially joined Milan on loan from Atalanta in 2017 and made the deal permanent in 2019.—Daily Mail
