Bakayoko ‘dreams’ of AC Milan return ahead of Monaco and Sevilla transfers with Chelsea desperate to offload £40m flop

CHELSEA flop Tiemoue Bakayoko reportedly has his heart set on a return to AC Milan at the end of the season.

The Blues are believed to be desperate to flog the French midfielder who they signed for £40million from Monaco in 2017.

Bakayoko - who is currently back at Monano on a season-long loan - won the FA Cup with Chelsea in his debut season in England where he featured in 43 games in all competitions.

HEADING BAK?

It still remains to be seen where the 2017 Ligue 1 winner will be playing his football next term.

Monaco have an option to buy him, but they will have to fork out a fee in the region of £37m to land him.

And it is also understood that LaLiga side Sevilla are weighing up a move for Bakayoko.

Milan aren't believed to be interested in securing his services, but it has been claimed that discussions cannot be completely ruled out.

Speaking recently, Bakayoko admitted he will have a "feeling of failure" when he finally leaves Chelsea for good.

He told L'Equipe: "When I leave Chelsea, I will have a feeling of failure because it's a club I loved.

"There was a trigger because I had gone through all the stages and it was like I had a break in my ambition.

"I couldn't do enough. Now I work a lot more."
