Bakayoko unlikely to see his Milan loan terminated

AC Milan will not terminate Tiemoue Bakayoko’s loan spell at the club, according to a report from Calciomercato.

Chelsea recruited Bakayoko in 2017 from AS Monaco in a deal believed to be worth £40 million. Following a difficult maiden campaign in English football, however, the Frenchman was made available for loan.

Towards the end of the summer, Bakayoko secured a temporary move away to Italy, as Milan completed the signing of the midfielder on a season-long loan deal.

However, Bakayoko has again struggled to convince in Serie A, prompting doubts that he will end the season at San Siro.

Contrary to these claims, though, it seems the former Monaco star will continue to play under Gennaro Gattuso, with Calciomercato reporting that Milan are not currently considering sending the player back to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are already well-stocked with midfield options and will be keen for Bakayoko to continue playing regular football ahead of his return in the summer.
