Is Paris Saint-Germain getting the next star? The French are apparently interested in the two midfielders Franck Kessie and Nicolo Barella.
Paris Saint-Germain apparently already has the next reinforcements on the list after the shopping spree last summer. According to Sportmediaset the top French club is watching the two midfielders Franck Kessie from AC Milan and Nicolo Barella from their city rivals Inter.
The 24-year-old Kessie is now one of the top performers at Milan, the Ivorian’s contract expires next summer. the Gazzetta dello Sport already brought a possible winter sale into play so that Milan could at least collect a small transfer fee.
Probably high transfer fee for Barella
The Rossoneri would like to extend the contract, but the parties are still different on the financial framework. In addition to PSG, at least Liverpool FC should also be interested in Kessie. Should Kessie stay with Milan until the summer, other European heavyweights could join the game.
European champion Barella only switched to Inter last summer and became an undisputed regular player there. The 24-year-old also had a large share in the Italians’ title win at the European Championship. However, since Barella is still under contract with Inter until 2024, a high transfer fee would probably be due for him.
With the signing of Kessie and / or Barella, PSG could strengthen and rejuvenate their central midfield at the same time. Ander Herrera, Idrissa Gueye (both 32), Georginio Wijnaldum and Danilo Pereira (both 30) are already 30 years or older. Marco Verratti will also turn 29 in November.
