Franck Kessie's agent slams 'fake news' linking 'unhappy' Man Utd target with exit six months after Barcelona transfer | The Sun

FRANCK KESSIE'S agent has slammed rumours linking the midfielder with a move away from Barcelona as "fake news".

The 25-year-old joined Barca on a free transfer in the summer.


But he has started just twice in La Liga since arriving at the Nou Camp.

Reports in Italy have even linked Kessie with a quick exit from Barcelona as soon as January, with former club AC Milan claimed to be keen.
