Kessie’s ‘Si’ a Barca: The African gem salutes his new boss Xavi

If there’s a field in which Xavi Hernandez has already specialized as a tactician, it’s definitely picking up those a bit diminished, unsatisfied stars of African origins in their former surroundings and resurrecting them in a staggeringly short period. Not sure what we’re talking about?Then check out what has happened with Piere-Emerick Aubameyang or Adama Traore. They’re thriving under Xavi’s guidance, and another African player is eager to follow the same path after a disappointing stint at San Siro.Auba completes ‘a hattrick’ as the only player to score in El Clasico, Der Klassiker and the North-London derbyIvorian playmaker Franck Kessie, 25, is about to move from AC Milan to Barcelona and will apparently earn a net salary of 7,000,000 euros a year. This figure also includes easily achievable bonuses.Kessie’s contract with Milan expires when he officially becomes a free agent at the end of June. Negotiations with the Rossoneri over the new one lasted several months but were unsuccessful because the two sides were not ready to compromise. The player’s representatives demanded a considerable salary increase and a substantial commission for them. Paolo Maldini did not agree to this tad blackmail and, just like in the cases of Gianluigi Donnarumma and Hakan Calhanoglu, he decided to show Kessie the exit door.Barca will be a formidable force next season!
