The arrival of Croatia international Mateo Kovacic at Chelsea has seemingly given the all clear for Tiemoue Bakayoko to move to AC Milan.
The French midfielder may be joining the Rossoneri on a season-long loan, with the option for the Italian club to buy the 23-year-old at the end of the campaign for around €30m.
Bakayoko and his entourage appear to be willing to have a go in Serie A, following Wednesday's meeting between the Italian giants and the player's agents.
The only hitch slowing down the transfer operation is the Frenchman's salary.
