AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie has reportedly completed his Barcelona medical ahead of an imminent summer move.
The Ivory Coast international has rebuffed the Rossoneri's attempts to tie him down to a new contract and is set to leave as a free agent at the end of the season.
The likes of Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United have all been linked with a swoop for Kessie, but Barcelona are understood to have reached an agreement over the 25-year-old's transfer last week.
Now, journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Kessie has completed his Blaugrana medical and already has a verbal agreement over a €6.5m (£5.4m) yearly wage.
Romano adds that the contracts will become official and signed "in the coming weeks", bringing an end to Kessie's five-year stay at San Siro since his initial loan arrival from Atalanta BC in 2017.
Kessie has six goals and one assist to his name from 30 appearances in all competitions this season as Milan sit three points clear of Napoli at the top of the Serie A table.
