Barcelona are moving closer to signing AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie this summer, according to Sport.
Kessie, 25, is out of contract at the end of the season and has already told the Rossoneri that he will not be extending his five-year stay at San Siro.
The Ivory Coast international's situation has also been monitored by Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, while sources told ESPN's James Olley in December that Tottenham Hotspur were planning to make an lucrative offer for him to sign a pre-contract agreement.
However, Sport reports that over the past month talks between Kessie and Barcelona have been progressing well, and that each round of negotiations brings the two parties closer to an agreement.
Kessie, who spent two years on loan at Milan from Atalanta before joining them permanently for €25 million in 2019, has made 163 Serie A appearances for the club and scored 34 league goals
