Franck Kessie has sent a farewell message to Milan fans after the club’s Serie A triumph ahead of his free transfer to Barcelona.

He posted a heartfelt farewell on social media to supporters, ahead of an expected switch to Camp Nou following the expiration of his deal.

Kessie wrote, in both Italian and French, on Instagram “After five years, I couldn’t hope to end this great experience in a better way!”

“[It is] a unique emotion – we are champions of Italy! [I am] proud to have worn this glorious jersey and to have shared this journey with fantastic companions! Thanks for everything! Thank you all!”
