CM: Milan confident of completing deal for main target in 48 hours as Chelsea make opening

AC Milan are moving closer to being able to confirm the return of Tiemoue Bakayoko from Chelsea, a report claims.

According to Calciomercato.com, Bakayoko is the profile chosen by the Milan management to reinforce the midfield and is the main objective, while the player dreaming of a return to Milan for some time.

He prefers the Rossoneri to Lyon and a couple of English clubs, who also asked for information and now thanks to the opening of Chelsea we are moving towards a full agreement.

For weeks Chelsea were only open to negotiating a permanent sale for the 26-year-old, but now they are happy to talk about a loan with the option to buy, the only solution contemplated by Milan.

The parties are working to close an operation that will include the possibility of buying the player for a sum between €30-32million. Milan is confident about the success of the negotiation and it should be done within 48 hours, maximum 72.
