AC
Milan have agreed a deal to sign Tiemoue Bakayoko from Chelsea on a
season-long loan with an option to buy for £35.56m, Sky in Italy are
reporting.
The deal is subject to a medical with the player expected to undertake the
necessary examinations on Monday morning.
The 23-year-old France international joined the Blues from Monaco last
summer for £40m and started 25 Premier League games in his first season in
the Premier League.
Bakayoko has been left disappointed by the fact he does not feature in the
plans of new manager Maurizio Sarri, according to reports.
Chelsea have boosted their midfield options this summer with the
high-profile signing of Jorginho from Napoli, a player Sarri knows well.
Bakayoko was not in the squad for Chelsea's Premier League opener against
Huddersfield as goals from debutant Jorginho, Kante and Pedro gave the Blues
a 3-0 win.
Another outgoing at Stamford Bridge, youngster Ola Aina is set to join
Torino on a season-long loan, according to Sky sources.
The right-back, who spent last season on loan at Hull in the Championship,
is due in Turin on Monday for a medical.
His year-long loan agreement is also understood to contain an option to buy
the 21-year-old permanently next summer.
