France international desperate to leave Chelsea on permanent deal

France international Tiemoue Bakayoko is reportedly determined to secure a permanent move away from Chelsea during this summer’s transfer window.

Bakayoko has not been able to replicate the form that made Chelsea beat off competition from top clubs in Europe to secure his signature in 2017.

The Frenchman has had loan spells with AC Milan, Monaco and last season with Napoli.

Bakayoko is set to reunite with his Chelsea teammates for preseason next month, but he might not have the chance of playing under Thomas Tuchel.

With just 12 months left to run on Bakayoko’s deal at Stamford Bridge, Gazzetta dello Sport reported that he’s desperate to secure a transfer in the current market.

According to the report, Bakayoko is not interested in another loan as he seeks a permanent exit.

AC Milan are reportedly the favourite to sign Bakayoko due to his brilliant display with Napoli last season.

Bakayoko has appeared for Chelsea on just 43 occasions in all competitions but made 44 appearances for Napoli while on loan at the club last term.

We will have to wait to see how this will end before the summer transfer close in the next few weeks.
