Mercato: Bakayoko soon free as the air

In check, midfielder Timou Bakayoko will not make his second season on loan to AC Milan. And the French international will also terminate his lease with Chelsea in the crowd!

Timou Bakayoko has never won Chelsea.

Timou Bakayoko will be able to make a new start. At 28, the midfielder was deadlocked at AC Milan, where the first of his two years on loan from Chelsea went badly (only 610 minutes of play in all competitions in 2021- 2022).

While many rumors about his situation have circulated in recent weeks, the French international is now fixed.

Doubledpart pour Bakayoko

This Tuesday, Sky Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio indeed indicates that the former Mongasque has reached an agreement not only with the Rossoneri to break his loan, but also with Chelsea to terminate his contract which ran until June 2024 ! This double operation must be finalized Wednesday morning according to the same source. On Monday, the London club had opted for the same solution with another midfielder, Ross Barkley, also in check.

A €40m flop for Chelsea

Recruited for 40 million euros in 2017 from the Principality, the native of Paris will therefore represent a bitter failure for the Blues. After an insufficient first season in England, Bakayoko has in fact made loans with more or less success in recent years: AC Milan, Monaco, Naples, and therefore new Milan. Financially, it is therefore a heavy failure for Chelsea, even if the British were able to recover ten million euros thanks to the player’s various paying loans.

The Habs should now take advantage of his situation as a free player to find a new base and relaunch a career that has not seen the expected progression. According to Di Marzio, Newcastle and Monza are in line to host him for free. Recently, the Corriere dello Sport also mentioned the interest of Nottingham Forest, promoted to the Premier League with 18 rookies!
