AC Milan are ready to buy outright Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.

The midfielder was shipped off to Serie A in the summer after an underwhelming debut season in the Premier League.

Calciomercato.com says San Siro chiefs want to acquire the Chelsea man permanently.

AC Milan have an option to buy the Frenchman for £30million - a whopping £10m less than what Chelsea paid Monaco in 2017.

Rossoneri management are keen to strike a deal for Bakayoko, though Stamford Bridge chiefs may demand the release clause to be met.
