PSG boost as Monaco to pass on keeping Chelsea midfielder Bakayoko

AS Monaco are set to pass on the permanent option for on-loan midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.

Bakayoko is on-loan with ASM this season from Chelsea and such has been his form that he's attracted enquiries from PSG.

And working in PSG's favour is that Monaco cannot afford to meet the original permanent option in the deal.

Le 10 Sport says the price is set at €43m - which ASM regard as now out of reach.

However, there is still every chance of Bakayoko remaining in France next season with PSG sports director Leonardo eager to bring him back to home city Paris.
