Milan might be handed yet another shock, although indirectly after Inter made ex-Rossoneri midfielder Franck Kessie their primary summer target. The red and black divide were left surprised when Hakan Calhanoglu jumped onboard the Nerazzurri wagon two seasons ago and may see Scudetto winner Kessie turn the same page.
Inter are keen on bringing the Barcelona midfielder back to the Giuseppe Meazza after just one season, according to recent reports from Corriere dello Sport (via SPORT). Contacts have already been initiated by the Nerazzurri with Kessie’s agent, George Atangana, who is working to find a way to bring the Ivorian back into the main frame.

Inter are prepared to tempt Barcelona by offering a swap deal involving Marcelo Brozovic, who is viewed by Xavi as an ideal replacement for Sergio Busquets. Nonetheless, it is a loan deal with the obligation to buy that remains the Nerazzurri’s intention to activate.
Franck Kessie was 100% convinced that he would get more playing time in the second half of the season.

The presence of Pedri, Gavi, and Frenkie De Jong in the middle of the park has made life difficult for the ex-Atalanta man and Inter target. However, his priority remains to succeed at Camp Nou. Kessie was linked to the exit door in the winter after a lack of playing opportunities under Xavi, but his minutes have grown since the start of the new year.
