Tiemoue Bakayoko’s agent confirmed Milan won’t activate his option to buy and despite many offers, he has “decided to stay at Chelsea.”
The midfielder went from flop to fan favourite back to unpopularity during his loan spell this season after a touchline row with Coach Gennaro Gattuso.
It had been known for some time that the Rossoneri would not pay the €35m to buy him outright, having already spent €5m on the loan spell.

“There are some clubs who are really interested and we received many proposals, but the priority is with Chelsea,” his brother and agent Abdoulaye Bakayoko told L’Equipe.
“They are in the Champions League and we are seeking stability. Tiemoue has decided to stay in London with Chelsea.”
