AC Milan are close to signing Tiemoue Bakayoko from Chelsea.

According to Thursday's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews), the Frenchman will join Milan on a season long loan with an option to buy.

Ever the shrewd negotiator, Blues chief Marina Granovskaia is demanding at least €30-32m in the buy clause.

The final details will be negotiated in the coming days.

But all in all, it looks Bakayoko will return to the San Siro for his second loan spell with Milan in three seasons.
