The Ivorian midfielder is of interest to the English side in the summer

Franck Kessie is one of the players chosen to leave Barça after June 30. The decision has been taken and will be communicated to the player once the league is won. The midfielder has given an acceptable performance and the club is happy with him, but the need is pressing. The club's objective is to close a direct sale and Tottenham have been asking for a price in the last few days.

Kessie could have left in the January transfer window, but the club did not want to negotiate his departure due to the impossibility of signing a replacement. At the end of the season, the club will give him a priority exit with the intention of making money. The midfielder is not a starter and with the desired signings he would not have minutes so he will be put on the market as he is a player who attracts attention.

Barça have received, above all, interest from Inter Milan in signing him. The player does not see with bad eyes the option of both Inter or Milan, but at Barca they begin to discard that route because in Italy there is no money and the exchanges do not end up convincing. The club needs cash before June 30 and in the Premier League there are teams interested and that could pay a good amount.

Tottenham were already interested in Kessie in January, but the operation was stopped. Now they have asked for a price and Barça could open the door for more than 25 million euros, which would be a net profit as he would have arrived with a free agent. It is clear that the player's will will count and he will choose his destination according to his interests as he has the upper hand. Inter attracts him, but today the agreement is very far away.
