Milan greets Franck Kessié.
Another architect of the Rossoneri's relaunch, probably the player who most affected Milan's game balance in the year of their return to the Champions League, will wear the Barcelona shirt.
According to the Spanish media, the midfielder has already undergone medical examinations in Lugano and has already signed a four-year contract at 7 million euros net per season.
"The line is the one dictated by the club", reiterated the ds Paolo Maldini a few weeks ago.
And so for the third time, Milan did not find an agreement for the renewal with one of its players and let him leave on a free transfer.
The contract will expire on 30 June 2022, then the roads will separate as already happened with Calhanoglu and Donnarumma.
And while Milan maintains their own line, that is to put the company, the team, at the center,
"I strongly wanted this renewal and the club knew it. I never wanted to talk to any other team out of respect for Inter and its fans", the Croatian's words.
Situations that are gradually being defined.
The other Milan player about to expire is Romagnoli and he too seems destined to leave the Rossoneri colors on a free transfer.
The club does not yield to too important requests and the fans have already made their opinion of the players on the deadline heard at San Siro, with whistles and banners.
Meanwhile, the club works for the renewals of Bennacer, very close, Leao and then Kalulu.
Ibrahimovic's fate will probably be known at the end of the season.
But nothing should be distracting because there are eight days to go until the end of the championship and there is a championship to win.
Even those who are already packing their bags will have to continue to give their all, as did Donnarumma and Calhanoglu.
Then the roads will divide.
