AC Milan are now pushing harder to sign Tiémoué Bakayoko from Chelsea. The player had already a positive experience in Serie A with the Rossoneri as he spent a loan spell in the 2018/2019 season.
Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara see the French defensive midfielder as an ideal solution to bolster the squad.
Yesterday, the player's agents had a meeting at Casa Milan with the club board to discuss the details of the 27-year-old's arrival.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport in today's edition, Chelsea tried to set the price of a buy-option over 20 million euros, but Milan were able to avoid this obstacle.
The newspaper continues to claim that Bakayoko will sign for AC Milan as he has agreed to take a paycut, thus earning 2.5 million euros.
