Milan supporters must be fed up with hearing of players’ contracts expiring.
After the circus around Gianluigi Donnarumma and Hakan Calhanoglu only recently pulled away from the “Will they, they will” debacle, a new nightmare has already surfaced.

the A league Giants lost two of their most important stars in the summer, with Donnarumma leaving the club that gave him everything to join Paris Saint-Germain, and Calhanoglu crossed the city to put on the colors of arch-rivals Inter.
And just when things couldn’t get worse, Frack Kessie’s contract entered its final year and there are few signs of an extension in sight.
The Ivorian has previously said he would do nothing better than stay in San Siro, however Milan have made a habit of refusing to ransom greedy agents so they can allow another superstar without getting any kind of money back transfer Fee.

Kessie might be gone by then, but where should he go? 90min has compiled a list of its most suitable travel destinations – and ranked them of course.

One thing we can’t deny doesn’t matter how bad Barcelona Finances, it doesn’t stop them from signing players. You have to admire this blind commitment to financial mismanagement.
Kessie would add much-needed physical strength and dominance to her midfield and fall into the “profitable business” category for free.
However, the 24-year-old’s wage demands could be an issue, as was the case with the failed contract to sign Georginio Wijnaldum in the summer.

Who wouldn’t want Kessie to carry out Diego Simeone’s orders? Atletico Madrid have announced themselves as a force both on and off the pitch over the past 12 months, winning La Liga and making the signings to match that success.
Saul’s departure left some space at the heart of midfield, and Kessie’s ball-handling skills and box-to-box energy would fit well into their squad.
For Kessie, however, there will be more tempting offers on the table, and the football style could be a little unattractive.

One of these more attractive offers could come from Chelsea. Saul’s loan suggests the Blues are in the market for a new midfielder despite their current talent pool.
N’Golo Kante’s recent injury problems could affect Thomas Tuchel and Saul’s debut against Aston Villa will have provided more questions than answers.
Kessie would be a wonderful partner for Jorginho or Kante, but whether or not he will be guaranteed regular minutes is debatable.

real Madrid experience a revolution in the square. Returning Carlo Ancelotti is tasked with getting the most out of his aging players while ushering in a new era.
The arrival of Eduardo Camavinga is a step in the right direction for Los Blancos, and Kessie would add even more steel and vibrancy to the center of the park.
He certainly has the ability to play at this level and a move to the white half of the capital is harder to refuse than the red and white half.

Manchester United desperately need a new midfielder – and Kessie isn’t. The Ivorian isn’t the man to anchor your midfield or protect the defense, but he’ll stop the game if he doesn’t bomb between the lines.
Basically, it won’t solve this particular problem, but it should Paul Pogba decide to expire his own contract too, then he could fill a gap in the middle of the team.
Kessie would offer more than Fred in midfield, and alongside Scott McTominay he could do well in the Premier League.

Regarding Premier League clubs that need a midfielder in Kessie’s form, Liverpool can top this list. The busy, high pressing football would fit Kessie to the bottom and he would comfortably replace Wijnaldum in that squad.
Jürgen Klopp has struggled to get the most out of Thiago Alcantara so far and it’s no secret that James Milner is nearing the final blow of his career.
So this would, without a doubt, be a great fit that would give the reds a much needed fresh face for a low price.

I know it makes me sick too, but that suits the player well. While Paris St. Germain They boast of endless wealth, lacking depth in midfield.
Kessie would not only provide depth, but also strengthen the starting XI. At the side of Marco Verratti, Ivory Coast could walk around the pitch without any serious defensive restrictions.
He definitely has the ability to run the Ligue 1 show and could make all the difference on those glamorous Champions League nights.

Juventus may not be the most enticing prospect for any player who has watched Serie A football this season, but a man as talented as Kessie would believe he can bring her back to the top of Italian football.
Manuel Locatelli’s signing this summer gives the Bianconeri a great base to build on and Kessie would turn this currently weak midfield into a terrifying prospect.
Andrea Pirlo is living proof of a successful replacement from Milan after she, and he became one of the most important Old Lady players in recent history. It’s not romantic, but it would fit the best by far.
