# Bakayoko ready to fight for Milan stay

Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko is reportedly determined to convince AC Milan to sign him on a permanent deal.

According to claims from Italian news outlet Corriere dello Sport, as cited by [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/milan-bakayoko-ha-un-chiaro-obiettivo-38301), the Frenchman is intent on remaining at San Siro beyond his current loan spell.

Bakayoko joined Milan towards the end of the summer transfer window on a season-long loan deal. It is believed that this move included an option to buy clause for the Serie A giants, set at a price of €35 million.

Chelsea signed the central midfielder from AS Monaco in 2017 in a deal reported to have been worth £42 million.

However, the 24-year-old flattered to deceive in his maiden season in English football as he fell out of favour under Antonio Conte and received criticism for his subpar performances.

Nevertheless, after a shaky start at Milan, Bakayoko is catching the eye with some combative performances in the midfield and is said to be keen on convincing the club to pay the aforementioned €35m to sign him permanently.
