AC Milan makes €3 million for a year-long loan deal for Chelsea Tiemoue Bakayoko

Chelsea might even get a profit on the player who hasn't featured for them once in two years.

AC Milan offered Chelsea €3 million for a year-long loan deal for Tiemoue Bakayoko, with a €35 million buyout option, according to top-tier transfer insider Fabrizio Romano.

In his tweet, the reporter adds that the French midfielder wants to return to San Siro where he largely enjoyed a loan spell in the 2018/19 season.

After his former club Monaco refused to buy him out this summer, AC Milan remain Bakayoko's only feasible option.

Bakayoko was brought in by Antonio Conte for £40M in 2017 and played 43 games during his first season with the club. He hasn't made a single official appearance for the Blues since.
