Paris
Saint-Germain are in talks with Chelsea over signing midfielder Tiemoue
Bakayoko.
Bakayoko joined Chelsea for £40m in 2017, but after an unimpressive debut
Premier League campaign, has spent the last two seasons out on loan at AC
Milan and then Monaco.
Milan were in talks to resign Bakayoko last month, but with no deal having
been agreed, Ligue 1 champions PSG have entered the race to sign the
26-year-old.
The clubs are understood to be discussing the possibility of either a loan
or permanent deal, with Chelsea likely to be keen to arrange a transfer fee
now with less than two years remaining on the Frenchman's contract.
Bakayoko began his career in Ligue 1 with Rennes, before moving to Monaco in
2014, from where he joined Chelsea. His only international appearance for
France came in 2017.
Chelsea are looking to recoup some of the significant outlay they've made
this summer, with French goalkeeper Edouard Mendy's arrival from Rennes on
Thursday becoming their seventh first-team signing of the widnow.
