AC Milan are interested in re-signing Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.

Having completed his loan with AS Monaco, Bakayoko has been encouraged by Chelsea to find himself a new club.

A return to Milan has been mooted after last season's loan spell and Tuttosport says the Rossonero are keen.

Indeed, it's suggested incoming coach Ralf Rangnick is a fan of Bakayoko's and has approved the deal.

While he had a difficult time with Milan last season, much of the problems have been blamed on former coach Rino Gattuso, now in charge of Napoli.

Milan have informed Chelsea they must drop their €35m asking price, however, for the deal to happen.
