    Two new signings to leave Barca this month

    Two new Barcelona players Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie could be on the move out of the La Liga club.

    ESPN says Christensen and Kessie have clauses in their contracts to terminate their Barcelona deals before making their debut.

    The Bosman duo both agreed the option to rip up their contracts if the club failed to register them for LaLiga this month.

    Barcelona have so far been unable to register any new signings due to a disagreement with LaLiga over the value of the ‘levers’ deployed, aka assets such as TV rights sold to private companies.

    It is thought both Kessie and Christensen do not want to end their Barcelona stay so early even though both stand to miss the weekend’s LaLiga opener versus Rayo Vallecano.

    Transfer: AC Milan star Kessie passes Barca medical

    AC Milan star Franck Kessie has passed a Barcelona medical, it has been revealed.

    Italian transfer expert Gianluca di Marzio, of Sky Italia, reports the tests took place in Lugano (Switzerland) in recent days.

    Off contract in June, Kessié will join Barca for free and sign for the next four seasons, until 2026, earning €7m-a-year.

    The negotiations would have accelerated at the end of February once it became clear that Kessié would not accept the renewal offer from Milan.

    The Ivory Coast midfielder is viewed at Barca as a long-term successor for Sergi Busquets.
