AC Milan do want to sign Tiemoue Bakayoko permanently from Chelsea.

But they are wary of some issues in a potential deal for the defensive midfielder.

Per Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Milan are worried that any deal for Bakayoko may impact their ability to sign Franck Kessie permanently.

They certainly do not want Chelsea to insist on a run at signing Kessie from Atalanta in exchange for Bakayoko.

And Milan also do not want an auction for the latter, hoping Chelsea will provide a modest requirement to complete the transfer permanently.

If no deal is done, Bakayoko will go back to the English club, where he is not wanted.
