In what appears to be a yearly occurrence, Tiemoué Bakayoko is in need of finding himself a new club with less than two weeks left in the transfer window.
Unwanted by Maurizio Sarri, Frank Lampard and now Thomas Tuchel, the Chelsea midfielder is hoping someone takes another chance on him, with that team possibly being Milan.
Both Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport have bits and bobs on the Frenchman’s future, with the former feeling rather optimistic about a deal being struck.
They explain Chelsea ‘have opened the doors to a new loan, this time on more advantageous terms than two years ago’.
To see if a deal can be done, a ‘new meeting is scheduled today, with his agents’, and if the player is ‘willing to adjust his demands to the Rossoneri philosophy, then the deal could be closed really quickly’.
If it doesn’t happen this week, it should ‘at the beginning of the next one at the latest’.
Corriere have a similar view, explaining the Chelsea man’s name has ‘returned with an arrogance’, as Milan have ‘never abandoned’ the idea of bringing him back.
The desire would be ‘to take him on advantageous terms and have two paths’.
The first of those would be ‘the outright purchase at low cost’ or either ‘wait for Bakayoko to renew with Chelsea for a year and then loan him’.
We’ll know soon enough.
