26-year-old linked with Wolves will leave this window, his club want at least £13m
Franck Kessie will reportedly leave Barcelona in this transfer window, after he was overlooked for minutes against Real Madrid.
The Ivory Coast international’s stint with the Spanish giants is about to come to an end.
Barca faced Real on Saturday in the US, with Barca running out 3-0 winners.
There was no involvement though for Kessie, who was left on the bench.
SPORT have now reported about the player’s situation – and there is potential significance for Wolves.
Franck Kessie set for Barcelona exit
According to SPORT, it has been made clear to Kessie that he will not have any minutes in the coming season.
The publication suggest that his departure could now be imminent.
And he is happy to go; apparently he’s opened the door for the club to invite offers from other clubs.
SPORT note that it was actually quite surprising that Kessie did not play against Real Madrid. Because last season Xavi regularly put Kessie on when Barca were defending leads, they say.
Apparently, Kessie gives priority to the Premier League.
A number of clubs are said to have expressed an interest in him. He would prefer to move to a ‘Big Six’ club, but Aston Villa and Wolves were also touted as potential next destinations recently.
It’s stated that Barca don’t want to sell for less than £13 million.
Juventus, another club that are interested, are planning a loan offer with an obligation to buy.
It is also mentioned at Kessie has been very professional despite his frustrating situation and so, Barca are ready to work with him to facilitate a move.
A potential chance for Wolves to get involved?
Kessie is a player Wolves have had on their radar for quite a while.
The club looked at him while he was at AC Milan.
Of course right now, Wanderers still have FFP issues and more player sales are needed, which is frustrating Julen Lopetegui.
But perhaps there is a deal to be done here.
Juve are apparently seeing about a loan move with an obligation to buy.
Perhaps that is something that could work for Wolves in that, payment would obviously not be made until next year.
But who knows if Barcelona would be willing to talk about such a proposal. You would like to think, though, that after the deals involving Nelson Semedo, Francisco Trincao and Adama Traore that there would be a good relationship between the clubs.
