Tiémoué Bakayoko arrived in the summer to bolster the midfield of Stefano Pioli's team. However, he has failed so far to reach his form and add his quality to the squad.
The French midfielder, who played with the Rossoneri under the guidance of coach Gennaro Gattuso, also on loan back then, struggled at first but then was able to earn a starting spot. However, this season, it seems like life is difficult for him at Milanello as he is struggling to compete with Sandro Tonali, Ismael Bennacer, Franck Kessié and Rade Krunic for a spot.
According to a report by Corriere dello Sport in today's print edition, coach Stefano Pioli no longer has faith in the French loanee of Chelsea Bakayoko. He is on the bench, also for contractual reasons. In fact, he is on a two-year-loan with an obligation to buy if the player accumulates a number of appearances for the club.
