Napoli are reportedly on the verge of signing Tiemoue Bakayoko on loan from Chelsea, but there is no option to buy in the deal.
According to multiple Italian sources, including Sky Sport Italia and Sportitalia, an agreement is practically done between the clubs.
The midfielder is also said to be enthusiastic about the transfer, having already played one season in Serie A on loan at Milan.
He had been linked with a return to the Rossoneri, but they wanted an option to buy rather than an obligation for €25m.

It seems as if Napoli are content to accept a dry loan – without an option to buy – that will reunite Bakayoko with his former Milan coach Gennaro Gattuso.
The 26-year-old spent last season on loan at Monaco, the club he had left for €40m in the summer of 2017.
