Chelsea outcast Bakayoko returns to AC Milan on loan

AC Milan have re-signed midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko on a two-year loan from Chelsea.

The deal includes an obligation to make the move permanent for around €15 million (£13m/$18m).

The 27-year-old returns to Milan for a second loan spell, having made 42 appearances for the club during the 2018-19 campaign.

Details of the Bakayoko move

In a statement confirming the deal, Milan said "AC Milan is delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko from Chelsea FC on a two-year loan, which could turn into an obligation if certain conditions are met."

As previously reported by Goal, Chelsea will also extend Bakayoko’s contract to June 2024 in order to avoid losing him on a free at the end of his current deal, which was due to expire next season.
