Kessie is soon anticipated to be a free agent and unless he signs a contract extension at San Siro, could be on his way out. He is currently playing in the final year of his contract at AC Milan.
His ball control and ability to move the ball in the right direction could be an asset for the Reds if they manage to bring him to Anfield in the coming transfer window. It will be a welcome addition to Jurgen Klopp’s ageing midfield.
