By refusing to sign a new deal at San Siro and signing as a free agent for Barcelona this summer, Ivorian midfielder Franck Kessie has started a new chapter in his career. But did he really?AC Milan are in search for Kessie’s replacement, but in an incredible turn of events, the African could come back because he and Andreas Christensen have a clause in Barcelona contracts allowing them to walk away if not registered by this weekend.ESPN have a sensational report that there are clauses in the contracts of both Kessie and former Chelsea defender Christensen allowing them to walk away if Barcelona have not registered them by the time the first game of the season is played.Christensen and Kessie could leave Barcelona for free if they are not registered before Saturday, sources have confirmed to @samuelmarsden and @moillorens 😳 pic.twitter.com/LNI0V8Tw2K— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) August 10, 2022 Barcelona’s serious financial problems mean they have not yet been able to register several of their new players until the overall salary bill is brought down, as it would violate La Liga rules.Blaugrana’s first Primera Division match happens on Saturday against Rayo Vallecano, so time is running very short indeed.The salary Kessie had signed up for at Barcelona was very similar, the only difference being no massive commission for his agent.##NAJAVA_MECA_6557315##As far as the Dane goes, before choosing Barcelona – the former Chelsea centre-back Christensen had been linked with Inter and AC Milan.As Milan continue to seek a sturdy option in the middle of the pitch, could it be possible for the Ivorian to go back to the lucrative contract extension he had originally rejected? It’s reported Barcelona will be paying Kessie a salary of 6.6 million per season for four seasons.
