Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko 'dreaming of AC Milan return'

Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko is reportedly 'dreaming' of a return to AC Milan this summer.

The 25-year-old joined Chelsea for £40m in 2017 but spent only one season at Stamford Bridge before being shipped out on loan, first at AC Milan and this term back to former club Monaco.

The Ligue 1 outfit have an option to buy Bakayoko at the end of the season, but Calciomercato reports that he is desperate to return to Milan instead.

The one-time France international made 42 appearances for the Serie A outfit and had been hoping to make the move permanent, only for Milan's failure to offload Franck Kessie to end their interest.

Chelsea are expected to offload Bakayoko on a permanent basis this summer as they aim to raise funds for other transfer targets.

Bakayoko has made 23 appearances for Monaco this season, scoring once and registering two assists.
