“Frank Kessie aims to end a disappointing streak at Barcelona”

Barcelona midfielder Franck Kessie’s first season at Camp Nou has been a rollercoaster ride. The Ivorian international arrived on a free transfer from AC Milan with modest expectations, but he quickly proved himself as a valuable asset to the team. He went from being a bit-part player to a key player in February and early March, starting in important matches like the Europa League against Manchester United and the Copa del Rey against Real Madrid.

Kessie made an impact in these games, scoring the winner at the Santiago Bernabeu in the Copa del Rey and netting the winning goal as a substitute in the La Liga match against Los Blancos at the end of March. However, his fortunes have changed in recent weeks. According to Relevo, Kessie has started only two of Barcelona’s last 10 matches, as Xavi Hernandez has opted to rotate and rest players.

This has been a frustrating turn of events for Kessie, who was just starting to show his best form in a Barcelona shirt. However, the return to fitness of Frenkie de Jong, Sergio Busquets, and Pedri has resulted in Kessie being relegated to the bench once again. While this is not surprising given the quality of Barcelona’s squad, it is still a disappointment for Kessie.

Relevo also reports that Inter Milan are monitoring Kessie’s situation at Barcelona, with a potential sale on the cards. It remains to be seen if Kessie will be able to earn more playing time in the remaining matches of the season and prove his worth to Barcelona’s new coach, Xavi.

Despite his limited opportunities, Kessie has shown that he can be a useful player for Barcelona in certain circumstances. However, his contribution over the course of the season has been inconsistent, and he has not had as many chances as he would have liked. Whether he stays at Barcelona or moves on to a new club, Kessie will be looking to prove his worth and establish himself as a top player in the coming seasons.
