The Ivory Coast international midfielder has already reportedly been the subject of €30m offers from the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal in the January transfer window.
He was also said to be very close to Roma and rumours continue to link him with the Giallorossi.
“I did not hear any rumours around Roma, as I was at the Africa Cup of Nations and so focused only on playing,” Kessie told Tuttomercatoweb at a meet and greet with fans at the Atalanta Store today.

“I like the Premier League and in particular Manchester United, the club I dream of playing for.
“Chelsea? That is also a big club, nobody would turn them down, but I dream of United.”
Kessie joined Atalanta in 2015 and after spending last season on loan with Cesena he has become a mainstay of the midfield for both club and country.
