Recently, he was absent from the Barca side that faced his former club in a friendly, fueling speculations about a potential departure. However, Manager Xavi clarified that Kessie was unavailable due to illness.
Previously, Kessie had been linked with a move to Liverpool, but the interest waned when the club pursued Romeo Lavia. Yet, according to Spanish outlet Sport, Liverpool, along with Juventus and Tottenham Hotspur, is closely monitoring the 26-year-old midfielder. The report indicates that Kessie is valued at €25m (£21.5m), and Liverpool is contemplating making a bid for him.
Kessie had a successful period in Italy, impressing first with Atalanta BC before joining Milan in 2017. Over five years with the Rossoneri, he made significant contributions to 45 goals in Serie A and played a crucial role in helping the club secure the Scudetto in his final season.
However, the transition to life in Catalonia has presented some challenges, and Kessie has often played a supporting role behind players like Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, and Pedri.
The news of Liverpool's renewed interest in Kessie follows reports that Southampton rejected a second bid from the club for Romeo Lavia. The situation remains dynamic, and Liverpool's pursuit of Kessie indicates their commitment to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
