Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko has hinted he won't be returning to AC Milan next season.

Bakayoko has just completed an inconsistent loan with the Rossonero, where the option to sign permanently is unlikely to be taken up.

He posted to social media:

"Dear Fans,

"Despite yesterday's victory we failed to reach our goal and finish in the top 4 to give you the Champions League next season.

"This disappointment does not erase everything and I would like to thank you.

"Thank you for your support, which was nice and sincere, since the beginning of our relationship was complicated.

"Thank you for your love when I had more difficult moments.

"Thank you for your song that often resonates in my head.

"Thank you all for the encouragement in the street or on social media."

"Thank you for making San Siro a unique stadium.

"Thank you for these beautiful memories that will accompany me everywhere and forever."
