AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie is reportedly in talks with Real Madrid over joining them once his contract expires this summer – dealing a huge blow to Tottenham and Liverpool.
Kessie will be out of contract in June and Milan have so far failed to convince him to extend his spell at the San Siro, meaning that he is now free to sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club.
Antonio Conte's Spurs have been heavily linked with Kessie for months and were thought to be leading the race to sign him.
