Three ways Barcelona can line up with Franck Kessie

 Barcelona have in recent years been synonymous with poor spending habits and comically poor decisions in the transfer market. Subsequent to Neymar Junior’s departure, for instance, the Blaugranes spent over €380 million on three players in an attempt to replace the Brazilian.

Neither of them has done so, with two already departed, and the last on his way out of the club.

Under Joan Laporta, Barcelona are making wiser decisions in the market. Rather than overspending on players that they had no use for, the Catalans are spending – next to – nothing on individuals that intricately fit into their style of play.

One such example is that of Franck Kessie, who has essentially been confirmed as a Barça player for next season.

The Ivorian midfielder has been a subject of interest for a number of European clubs in the top five leagues for several seasons.

Under Milan head coach Stefano Pioli, Kessie has become the best version of himself yet, with Xavi Hernadez keen on exploring the untapped potential he has to offer.
