English Premier League Tottenham Hotspur are close to signing midfielder Frank Kessie (26), one of their targets.
On the 7th (Korean time), Italy’s Tutomercato Webb reported that FC Barcelona in the Spanish Primera Liga has decided to allow the transfer of Tottenham target Keshi.
Tottenham are quickly preparing to reinforce their power in the transfer market next summer, and Kecie is one of them.
Kessie left AC Milan in Italy’s Serie A ahead of this season and wore a Barcelona uniform as a free agent.
It was expected to be an ‘engine’ in Barcelona’s midfield based on its vigorous activity, but it was unable to surpass existing players such as Frankie Deyong, Sergio Busquez, and Sergi Roberto and is on the bench. This season, he made 16 appearances in Primera Liga, 12 of which came from the bench. In his 16 games, the playing time is only 559 minutes, and the attack point is also 1 only.
Barcelona are targeting Fiorentina midfielder Sofian Amrabat. The plan is to use the transfer fee earned from selling Kessie to recruit Ambarat.
During his AC Milan days, Kessie is sweeping the Serie A midfield with his 183cm stout physique and explosive activity.
Sports director Fabio Paratici, who is well versed in Italian circumstances, kept an eye on him, and was mentioned as a top recruit along with Fiorentina striker Dushan Blahovic (now Juventus) in the early days of Tottenham’s arrival. 베팅룸 토토
At the time, Tottenham offered Kessie a large sum of more than 10 million euros (approximately 13.5 billion won) per year, but was rejected, and Kessie headed to Barcelona.
Tottenham are currently out of the main midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur due to a long-term injury, and newly recruited Yves Bisuma is also out with an injury. Along with Pierre Emile Hoivier, young players such as Oliver Skip and Pape Sar are filling the void in the midfield. Moreover, since the departure of Christian Eriksen, there have been constant calls for a creative midfielder.
