Milan are on the verge of closing a deal with Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, who spent last term on loan at Napoli.
Sky Sport Italia reports Milan are moving on to the next target this summer after having reached an agreement with Roma over Alessandro Florenzi, who will join on a paid loan with an option to buy.
There could be new meetings to iron out the last details with the Giallorossi, but Milan are meanwhile looking for a new midfielder too.
Bakayoko, who spent 2018-19 on loan at San Siro, seems set for a return to Milanello this summer and the broadcaster reports the Rossoneri are edging closer to a done deal with the Blues midfielder.
The 27-year-old’s contract with Chelsea expires in June 2022 and the report doesn’t mention the details in the potential deal with the Londoners.
Bakayoko spent 2020-21 on loan at Napoli and was given 44 competitive appearances with the Partenopei.
The French midfielder has played 63 times in Serie A across his two spells in the League and seems set for a third stint in Italian football.
I’ve been praying for this all summer. fingers crossed and touch wood!!!
Yes Rosario! and I was hoping for it since last season. Will add excellent depth and experience for us, esp for CL and Kessie and Bennacer away for AFCON. Fingers crossed too.
I always thought Bakayoko was an average player but he would give us strength in depth and he showed he is willing to fight to be in the team.
