Franck Kessie, an Ivorian midfielder, has agreed to leave Barcelona in the summer.

Having joined the Catalans from AC Milan last summer, the Ivory Coast international would have spent just one season at Camp Nou.

Gerard Romero, a Spanish journalist, claims that Kessie agreed to quit the Blaugrana after a phone call with manager Xavi Hernandez.

He was a free agent last year and signed with Barcelona from AC Milan.

Despite committing to Barcelona for four years, he was not a first-team regular last year.

According to reports, he has drawn interest from several clubs, including Atletico Madrid and Saudi powerhouses Al-Ahli and Al-Nassr.

Romero reportedly told Sportskeeda that the midfielder is thankful to Barcelona but has come to terms with the fact that he will be leaving.
