Certainly not after one good season when you have played crap the previous seasons. How much was Kessie earning? 2.5m I think? And suddenly he wants 5m or 6m, after one good season?
I get that you reward your players with improved contracts for doing well, for getting you to the CL or the League or whatever, but you don't go about doubling salaries. You double player A salary and when player B does well in another season and it's time for his renewal he demands his salary be doubled as well. What do you do?
So as much as I really like Kessie and recognize he's one of the most important figures in the team, I say don't bend over to him or his agent. Increase his salary yeah, but don't go overboard. In any case, we've drawn a line with Dollarumma and Hakan. Would be foolish to go back on this for some other players.
So renew at the cost the club can afford or sell him.
The problem was Donnarumma is at 6m and this has the knock on effect of saying the club is willing to offer 6m if you are an important player, that's why everybody is demanding 6m as that has become the ceiling. If we manage to get Kamara and Bakayoko then I see no reason we should not sell kessie to get some money back. Kessie is not Kaka nor Sheva, losing him is acceptable to me. The most important thing is to pack the squad with talents that can step up.
