AC Milan are ready to deal in on-loan Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.
The France international is on a season-long loan at the San Siro.
Gazzetta dello Sport says Bakayoko has convinced Milan coach Gennaro Gattuso to keep him long-term.
And there is now an expectation of the deal going through.
Milan can sign Bakayoko for around €35m - a transfer which could be funded by the sale of Franck Kessie.
