    Soccer News: Kessie wants to stay at Milan “forever”

    Highly demanded midfielder Franck Kessie says he wants to stay at Milan “forever” and plans to sign a new contract upon his return from the Olympics.

    Kessie is in the final year of his contract with the Rossoneri and has been linked to the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool.

    The 24-year-old, currently representing Ivory Coast at the Tokyo Games, has assured Milan that he has no intention of turning the page.

    “I am proud to have chosen Milan and it is not my intention to leave. Indeed, I want to stay forever “, he told the Gazzetta dello Sport:

    “When I get back from the Olympics, I’ll fix everything. I just want Milan. Sporting director Paolo Maldini knows my thoughts.

    “I want to be the ‘president’ of Milan for life”.

    Milan manager Stefano Pioli said he had no concerns about Kessie’s departure earlier this month.

    Asked about the prospect of Kessie signing a new contract, he said: “These are club things. We all know how important Franck is and how happy he is to be at Milan.

    “Franck has grown a lot, let’s talk about him but the others have also grown. He can still do a lot, both I and the club know how important Franck is, I have already heard that. First he rested, then he got married, now he will go to the national team “.

    Kessie scored 13 goals – 11 from penalties – and provided four assists as AC Milan finished second behind city rivals Inter Milan in Serie A last season.
