Franck Kessié's agent agency issued a statement to the journalist Gerard Romero on Tuesday denying that the Ivorian midfielder wants to leave FC Barcelona. Some reports had placed the midfielder in Saudi Arabia next season.
The statement reads: "Dear Gerard Romero. For the umpteenth time, unfounded news has been published about one of our clients.
