Barcelona agree deal with Manchester United midfield target
Barcelona have reached a pre-contract agreement to sign AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie this summer, Spanish publication Sport reports.
Kessie has been a key player for the Rossoneri over the past few years, but he is set to leave them when his contract expires in June.
The Blaugrana have been negotiating terms in recent months, and it is now claimed that the midfielder has agreed a long-term deal.
Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea were also keeping tabs on him, but he has now chosen a fresh challenge in the Spanish La Liga.
The Catalan giants have overcome some of their financial burden this campaign, but they are still eyeing multiple free transfer signings.
Aside from Kessie, Andreas Christensen looks set to join on a Bosman move from Chelsea. He has agreed terms over a four-year deal.
Meanwhile, his Blues teammate and captain Cesar Azpilicueta has also been touted to join for free with his contract expiring on June 30.
