Joan Laporta already stated that Barcelona would announce the signing of Franck Kessie this week, but now the Catalan club have officially done so this Monday.
The 25-year-old midfielder was at AC Milan since 2017 and won Serie A last season, but now he’ll start a new adventure in LaLiga Santander after moving as a free agent.
He will be presented on Wednesday, when he’ll sign a contract until 2026. Meanwhile, his release clause of 500 million euros.
Barcelona struck a deal with the player back in March, but waited until now before announcing the Ivory Coast international’s arrival.
“Franck Kessie is a player who contributes in attack and in defence,” Barcelona said of their new player in their announcement.
“Capable of winning the ball back in midfield, the African midfielder also has impressive stats as a goalscorer, partly due to his ability to make runs into the penalty area.”
