Serie A side emerges as favourite to sign out-of-favour Chelsea midfielder

Serie A side AC Milan have been tipped as the favourite to sign out-of-favour Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.

Bakayoko has failed to impress at Chelsea ever since he joined from Monaco some season ago and had been forced to spend time on loan.

The Frenchman spent last season at Napoli but Chelsea are willing to get him off their wage bill by letting him leave on a permanent deal this summer.

With some clubs in Europe willing the add him to their ranks, Goal.com’s Chelsea journalist Nizaar Kinsella (via MilanNews) has revealed that AC Milan are more likely to secure the return of Tiemoue Bakayoko.

The report claim that AC Milan’s interest in the blues star forward Hakim Ziyech might not be fruitful as Chelsea believes he has a role to play under Thomas Tuchel.

Bakayoko has only one year of contract left on his contract at Chelsea and he is pushing to return to the Rossoneri.

AC Milan are also eager to strengthen their squad in all department as they will be participating in the Champions League.
