Essien could leave AC Milan for Besiktas

Essien could leave AC Milan as Turkish giants Besiktas prepare massive offer for Ghanaian

Turkish giants Besiktas are pursuing AC Milan midfielder Michael Essien and are preparing a big contract to lure him away from the San Siro.

Essien joined Milan from Chelsea in January for free, but failed to become a regular starter.

Rai Sport’s TV show Zona 11 reports that the Turkish club are ready to offer him a three-year contract with a €4 million annual wage.

However, they do not want to pay anything to Milan to get him, therefore, he would have to find a way to rescind his current contract.

In six months at Milan, the 31-year-old Ghanaian has made only nine appearances, playing a total of 485 minutes.
