Bakayoko has made no secret of his desire to join Milan permanently in recent weeks and followed that trend in an interview with France Football.
However the midfielder was more receptive to the idea of a second spell with his parent club, despite being written off by the English Press.

“I’m having a good season, I’m very grateful to Milan and I’m very happy here, even though I was criticised a lot at the beginning,” said the 24-year-old.
“Still, it’s normal. Everyone expected more from me, so it’s no surprise. I can’t think about the future too much.
“I’ll do everything to ensure Milan qualify for the next edition of the Champions League. It’s been five years since the Milan fans last heard its anthem and I want to be there when it rings around San Siro again.
“We’ll see how the season ends, also because I have a contract with Chelsea, who are still a very important club to me.
“Chelsea decided to make some changes and I wasn’t part of their plans. Sarri arrived and told me what his intentions were.
“In addition, a man like Jorginho arrived. A second season at Chelsea would’ve allowed me to play my hand, but I felt the need to change scenery.
“It was an important decision because Milan are the fourth time I’ve changed club. It’s a lot for a 24-year-old.
“It was Leonardo who contacted me and I’d have only left Chelsea for Milan because they’re the club who made me dream as a youngster.”
