AC Milan have started discussions to reward Ivory Coast midfielder Franck Kessie with a new deal that would lead to a pay rise.

The 24-year-old’s contract is expected to expire in June 2022 and according to Milan Live, the Rossoneri are looking to give him and Davide Calabria long-term deals.

Kessie has been impressive in Stefano Pioli’s team this season with his midfield displays and return of five goals in 14 Serie A matches.
