STUNNER! Chelsea trigger Bakayoko contract extension; AC Milan go cold

AC Milan have gone cold on Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Milan's interest in Bakayoko has cooled after the Blues are said to have triggered a 12-month extension in the outcast's contract.

Bakayoko's deal was due to end in the summer of 2022 but Chelsea have activated the clause to maintain his sell-on value.

Milan could still bring him to the San Siro having spent the 2018-19 season with the Rossoneri, but a move to the north of Italy is now less likely.
