Wolves Facing Uphill Battle to Sign Franck Kessie From AC Milan Despite Agreeing Fee

Wolverhampton Wanderers have agreed a fee of €25m plus add-ons with Milan for midfielder Franck Kessie, though the side may struggle to complete a deal before the transfer window closes.

Nuno Espirito Santo's men have reportedly offered the Ivory Coast international an annual salary of €2.8m, but the player is demanding they up it to €4m instead. Kessie has spent the last two seasons on loan at San Siro from fellow Italian outfit Atalanta, finally making his move permanent in June for €24m.

Milan had already forked out €7m to secure the 22-year-old's services for the 2017/18 and 2018/19 campaigns.
