Reports: Bakayoko will remain at Milan as the deadline in Italy passes

There has been a lot of confusion about the future of Tiemoue Bakayoko during deadline day but now it has been confirmed he will stay at AC Milan.

According to MilanNews, Bakayoko will remain at Milan because in the end the French midfielder decided not to proceed with the termination of his two-year loan deal with the Rossoneri, and the window is now closed.

On the other hand, Calciomercato.com report that Bakayoko did want to end his loan at Milan but the decision came too late, meaning there was not enough time to complete the operation, also considering the involvement of Chelsea.

If the decision have come earlier in the day or in the window it would have allowed the Diavolo to save a good amount of salary, but ultimately the procedures for termination of such a deal in take longer than normal when there are multiple parties involved.
