AC Milan's plans for Tiemoue Bakayoko hinge on Champions League qualification.

The midfielder is on-loan at Milan from Chelsea this season and has shone since Christmas.

And given his current form, Chelsea are insisting Milan pay top price - €35m - to make the deal permanent, says TMW.

The Rossonero had hoped to negotiate a discount, but Bakayoko's impact has ended those plans.

Should Milan pass on buying the midfielder, Chelsea could welcome him back given their summer transfer ban concerns.
