GdS: Chelsea loanee to remain at Milan as Olympiacos move fails to materialise

Tiemoue Bakayoko will stay at Milan until at least the January transfer window as the opportunities for him to leave have now disappeared, a report claims.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via PianetaMilan), the midfielder could have moved to Olympiacos who seemed keen on welcoming his services but instead the summer transfer market closed last night in Greece, so there will be no transfer to Athens for the Frenchman.

Milan had convinced the player to terminate his loan deal on the first of September – which was deadline day in Italy – but the Rossoneri and Bakayoko needed to co-ordinate the terms with Chelsea and there was not enough time left for it to go through.

Stefano Pioli has no plans of using the former Monaco man and the management wanted to offload his €2.5m salary, but Bakayoko will now remain at Milan at least until January, when the door to an exit will open again.
