It is claimed that Manchester United are planning to make an offer for Milan midfielder Franck Kessie (24) in case Paul Pogba leaves at the end of the season. As you know, Paul Pogba's contract is going to expire on June 30, 2022. Kessie had really impressive statistics like 14 goals and 6 assists in the last season. He looks like he has a nice potential. Maybe he can improve his level if he goes to Manchester United.
Well, I think this can be listed as "fake" news.
Manchester United has no need to do an offer to Milan for Kessie, he is a free agent and he can speak as a free player.
If he will not renew his contract he can sing for free to anyone.
While I was indicating it as an "offer", I actually meant that the team will offer him a contract.
Otherwise, it would be really weird to have news like that. His contract expires at the end of next June which means that Manchester United can make him sign a new contract with them in this January. However, I wonder whether the player would be very eager to go there. But if we compare Milan and Manchester United, I think that the latter is a better choice for him to improve his game even more.
But this transfer will be depending on Pogba's future highly like I said. After Ronaldo's arrival at the team, Pogba seems like enjoying his game a lot. They are playing much stronger now. Hence, maybe Pogba will change his mind and the Kessie transfer will not happen.
