Tiemoue Bakayoko says he wants to make his AC Milan move permanent

AC Milan v SSC Napoli - Serie A

As per Corriere Dello Sport via FourFourTwo, Chelsea flop Bakayoko is keen on making his loan move to AC Milan permanent. The midfielder said that staying on at the San Siro would be a dream for him.

Bakayoko endured a torrid time at Chelsea and drew the ire of the Stamford Bridge faithful with some heavily underwhelming performances after being brought in as a replacement for the reliable Nemanja Matic.

Subsequently, Chelsea loaned him out and he has hit much better for Il Rossoneri. Bakayoko has been reported to have said,

I heard what Leonardo said. But I’m not in a position to be talking about it. It’s a matter for Milan and Chelsea.

Staying at Milan is my dream, the only thought in my mind, but I have a contract with Chelsea. I just want to finish the season in fourth place, then we’ll think about it.

Though that is what he wants, he will not have much of a say in the matter.
