Bakayoko rejects new contract offer from Chelsea

Tiemoue Bakayoko has rejected a new contract offer from Chelsea.

Sky Sports says Bakayoko has rejected a new contract at Chelsea as he wants to return to AC Milan this summer.

The 27-year-old midfielder has not played for the Blues since the 2017-18 season and has spent the last three years on loan at the Rossoneri, Monaco and, most recently, Napoli.

Bakayoko's contract at Stamford Bridge expires at the end of the 2021-22 season having moved to Chelsea from Monaco for £35million in the summer of 2017.

But the midfielder has turned down a new deal by the Blues as he wants to move back to Milan, who have just qualified for the Champions League.
