It is a hot axis that is taking shape between AC Milan and Premier League giants and Champions League winners Chelsea.
Not only Olivier Giroud and Hakim Ziyech are linked, after the signing of Fikayo Tomori, but also overlooked French midfielder who spent the season on loan at Napoli is also linked: Tiémoué Bakayoko.
The Frenchman is familiar with the Rossoneri club as he spent a good season-long loan spell at the club under the coaching reign of Gattuso.
Now, it seems that his future is linked again with the red and black side of the city of Milano.
As reported in today's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, which takes stock of Milan's market plans, Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara are in no hurry to sign Bakayoko for the vice-Kessié role.
They would rather wait until Chelsea lower their financial demands for him, especially since that Tonali is close to rejoining after the loan expiry.
