Kessie-Milan: it is a clash, here is the minimum amount to sell it | First page

The Franck Kessie case has literally exploded at Milanello during the last week that preceded the defeat, albeit positive and of a measure, remedied against Juventus. The Ivorian midfielder was excluded from the squad for technical choice and the break is at the moment complicated to heal so much that for him they are already opening several options for one in January. However, Milan is aware that, due to budgetary issues, not only the player cannot be sold off, but you will also have to try to obtain a capital gain to finance the incoming market.BREAK – That the break is difficult to heal is obvious and has more distant roots than the last week. Kessie since he arrived Stephen Pioli he became the protagonist of behaviors deemed unsuitable by both the coach and the managers (READ HERE WHAT HAS TAKEN TO THE EXCLUSION). Attitudes that return since it is not the first time that Kessie becomes the protagonist of behaviors out of the canons demanded by society. Also Gennaro Gattuso last season he condemned the 'quarrel' that broke out on the bench with Biglia at the time of the change in the derby lost against Inter, even if the case came back.

THE FIGURES – For this reason, this time, the farewell to January seems to be the easiest option to go. Not at any price, however, because the Milan budget imposes strict limits. Purchased on June 2, 2017 officially on a two-year loan with a redemption obligation, the cost of its tag was immediately entered in the budget for 26.15 million. At the end of the first season, bonuses were given for 5.85 million and the total value of the transaction rose to 32 million. As at 30 June 2019 the residual cost of his card was 19.2 million e as of December 31, when the market opens, its residual balance sheet value will be 16 million.

LOAN OPTION? – 16 million is the minimum amount to start from so as not to make capital losses immediately, but the Rossoneri club could also open a loan with a redemption obligation to further lower the depreciation amount in the balance sheet. The annual impact is in fact 6.4 million and postponing the accounting of the sale of Kessie not in December, but at the end of the year or even at the end of the following season, would allow to increase the value of the capital gain. In fact, the residual value would decrease to 12.8 million (June 2020) and 6.4 million (June 2021) respectively. Assuming a sale of no less than 25 million, the value of the capital gain would therefore be 9 million in December, 12.2 in June and even 18.6 million at 30 June 2021.
