Monaco Vice-President Reveals Chelsea Want to Sell Out of Favour Forward Michy Batshuayi Outright

Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev has confirmed that they have agreed a deal to sign Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi on loan, but the Blues are yet to authorise the move as they want a permanent deal.

The Belgian is currently on loan with Spanish side Valencia, but has seen his loan move cut short by the La Liga side. Talks have been ongoing between all three parties about Batshuayi's future but, with Chelsea struggling in front of goal in recent weeks, the Blues are yet to confirm any deal.

Speaking to beIn SPORTS, Vasilyev confirmed that it is Batshuayi's parent club who are holding up the deal.
