The entourage of Tiemoue Bakayoko are at work to try and terminate his loan spell at AC Milan a year early, a report has confirmed.
Bakayoko was very much on the fringes of Stefano Pioli’s midfield rotations last season as he barely played aside from when Ismael Bennacer and Franck Kessie were at the African Cup of Nations, and even then he made a couple of starts in which he was substituted off at half time.
According to Tuttosport (via SempreMilan.it), the management and the coaching staff agree that Bakayoko can leave. The Frenchman did not play even a minute in the last two friendlies of the summer which shows just how out of favour he is.
Bakayoko’s agents are working to release the midfielder from the loan at Milan by returning him to Chelsea and subsequently finding him a new destination, as per the paper, with news expected in the coming days and weeks.
Last summer Napoli had an option to buy Bakayoko and they had 0 intentions of doing that.
Both Milan and Napoli needed DM
Anguissa from Fulham was available .
Napoli got Anguissa on a 1 year loan with option to buy for 15 mil
Milan got Bakayoko on 2 year loan with option/that can turn into obligation for 17 mil.
And it wasn’t as Milan got beat by Napoli for Anguissa , no ,Milan’s first choice was Bakayoko, because they were trying to get Bakayoko even the previous summer before he went to Napoli
Hope he can leave faster before market close. He cannot play on double pivot formation . His salary are high too
If he leaves Milan may bring in Ziyech to please Chelsea
