Real Madrid interested in Kessie as possible replacement to Casemiro (reliability: 4 stars)

Real Madrid are interested in AC Milan's midfielder Franck Kessie, Diario AS Say. He could be a possible replacement to Casemiro.

The 24-year-old's contract at Milan expires at the end of the season and he's rejected an extension offer worth €6.5m per year, Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport claim. The Rossoneri have given up on trying to extend his stay.

Besides Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain are also closely following him. They currently have an advantage as they entered the race earlier.

Kessie joined Milan in 2017. Since then, he's made 196 appearances, scoring 32 goals and providing 15 assists.
