Is Kessie planning to take off again? Advisor takes a stand

Franck Kessie is usually just a substitute at FC Barcelona. Despite the botched start at the Catalans, the Ivorian apparently has no thoughts of leaving. In any case, his adviser spoke clearly of "fake news".

Barca presented Franck Kessie as the absolute royal transfer in the summer, who moved from AC Milan to Catalonia for free (!). Coaches, experts and fans agreed at the time: Kessie will need little adjustment time at Barca. A few months later, the reality is very different. Kessie is not on track at Blaugrana, having only started four times for his new club. Recently, there have been rumors that Kessie wants to leave Barca again.

Complete nonsense, as his advisor now revealed. "It's all fake news, totally wrong," the agent told Mundo Deportivo. "He's happy at Barcelona and doesn't want to leave the club." Kessie's adjustment problems require patience. Head coach Xavi recently referred to the performance prince when asked about the Ivorian's meager playing times. "We have a lot of players in this position, he can be important. He's a great professional. I'm sure he'll fit in," said Xavi at a press conference A few months at the club and still in the process of fitting into the team and Barca's style of play."
