Franck Kessie revealed what former Barcelona player Zlatan Ibrahimovic told him about the club and his nickname in Milan.
He was unveiled as a Barcelona player at the Camp Nou today and it’s a dream come true for him to wear the Barcelona shirt.
Kessie joined the club as a free agent after he failed to renew his contract with AC Milan this summer. He is a midfield talent and he will help the team a lot.
Franck Kessie: “I am nicknamed ‘the President’ in Milan, because one day I parked in the place of the President of Milan, then he asked me to park elsewhere, and I said ‘no’, today I am the president of Milan.”
Franck Kessie revealed Zlatan’s advice
“Yes, I spoke with Zlatan and he gave me a lot of advice. He told me that it was a very good team, that I had to work a lot and give everything. He said I’m going to a great club.”
“I make myself available to the coach. The position will be decided by the coach, I’m a midfielder but the appropriate position will be decided by the coach.”

“When a coach like Xavi calls you, you know its worth it. He told me how important I would be in his team.”
“I don’t see myself as a starter. I have to work, because you don’t win the place with your mouth, but by working in training. That’s where the coach makes his decisions.”
