AC Milan won’t pay Bakayoko fee

According to reports in England, AC Milan are not willing to pay £31 million in order to secure the services of Tiemoue Bakayoko on a permanent deal. The midfielder, who only arrived at Stamford Bridge back in 2017 from Monaco, has been deemed surplus to requirements with the Blues and was sent out on a season long loan to the San Siro back in the summer.

Alas, despite having some success there, it doesn’t seem as if Bakayoko will be making Italy his home on a permanent basis – at least, not with Milan. While there’s always the possibility of them coming to a lower price tag Chelsea seem set in their ways with the figure they have suggested, although it’ll be interesting to see whether or not they budge as the weeks go on.

AC are attempting to climb back towards relevancy in the realms of Italian football as they push for a spot in the Champions League.
