Chelsea are looking poised to complete a move for AS Monaco midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, but the Ligue 1 winners could demand that they sign Michy Batshuayi or Charly Musonda in return.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, Monaco are keen to gain something other than money from any deal to sell Bakayoko, and are keen to acquire either Batshuayi or Musonda this summer.
It’s stated that the Blues are indeed edging ever closer to sealing the deal to bring the 22-year-old midfielder to Stamford Bridge, but it’s looking like they may very well have to part ways with one of two of their most promising young players.
The report insists that Musonda is the more likely of the two to make the switch over to France having failed to really convince Antonio Conte of his ability to compete in his first team.
Batshuayi hasn’t had the desired effect since his big-money move from Marseille, but could prove to be important next season.
