The Chelsea could request the central midfielder of the AC Milan Franck Kessie as part of an exchange involving the defender Fikayo Tomori, who is on loan in the set Red-black, according to a report coming out of Italy.
Tomori arrived in Milan on loan with a purchase option towards the end of the transfer market in January (winter) and the Rossoneri have a purchase option set at 28-30 million euros, depending on the source of the information. An important figure but one that is consistent due to the level of the English central.
Chelsea consider an exchange
According Calciomercatoweb , AC Milan considers that the purchase figure is high, but the Blues could present a sensational trade agreement as Thomas Tuchel is looking for other options in the shuttle area (more on a defensive level) and is happy to lose the player despite because he is betting on a line of three centrals in the back and Thiago Silva is already in the last bars of his career.
Therefore, an exchange with Franck Kessie could be suggested, but the former of Atalanta and Cesena will not leave for less than 40 million euros, due to the importance he has in the Stefano Pioli team. Despite the fact that their contract expires in June 2022, it will soon be renewed, meaning Chelsea would have to have the valuations of the two players accumulated in order for a deal to be approved.
It seems like a complicated trade, but despite that, Chelsea will try to close the incorporation with a canny market move. The continuity of Kanté is in doubt, so Tuchel wants to reinforce his midfielder area with a player with a dominant physique and with conditions to cover large sections of the field.
