Bakayoko wants Chelsea stay despite interest from big clubs, says agent

Tiemoue Bakayoko has decided he will return to Chelsea this summer after his loan spell at AC Milan.

The France international joined Chelsea from Monaco in 2017 and played an important role in his first season, but was sent to Italy last summer following the arrival of coach Maurizio Sarri and midfielder Jorginho.

Milan have an option to buy the midfielder for €35 million and ex-coach Gennaro Gattuso and director Paolo Maldini said earlier this year that they were keen to make his deal permanent.
