Sky: Frustration for Milan and Chelsea as Bakayoko exit collapses

Tiemoue Bakayoko will not be leaving AC Milan this month and is now destined to remain until the end of the season, a report claims.

According to reports from Sky journalist Manuele Baiocchini (via MilanNews), the deal that could have seen Bakayoko join Vincenzo Montella’s Adana Demirspor in Turkey has definitely fallen through.

The midfielder is therefore destined to remain at Milan on loan until the end of the season, where he is yet to pick up a competitive appearance in the current campaign after amassing 18 in 2021-22.

Bakayoko returned to Milan from Chelsea on a two-year loan in the 2021 summer window and the deal included an option to buy that becomes an obligation upon certain conditions being met.

The talks with Adana foresaw his loan deal being terminated early and also his contract with Chelsea so he could go on a free, but instead he will stay for another few months.
