Bakayoko spent the last season on loan at Napoli
According to transfer news from Sport Witness, Napoli don’t intend to sign Chelsea loanee Tiemoue Bakayoko on a permanent deal. Even though the player has performed rather well for the Naples outfit, the club aren’t willing to sanction a permanent offer for him.
The French midfielder was signed from AS Monaco in 2016, but failed to cement his place in the Chelsea team and he has been out on loan for the past three seasons.
New manager Thomas Tuchel is also not keen on having the former Rennes midfielder in his future plans at Chelsea. So Chelsea are open to sanctioning a permanent sale of the player in the summer.
He joined Serie A side Napoli at the start of the season, with reports emerging that Gennaro Gattuso’s side want to make a permanent move for him due to his impressive start at the club. However, now contradictory reports have emerged that Napoli don’t really intend to sign him at the end of the season.
That would mean Bakayoko having to return to Stamford Bridge. His contract ends in 2022 meaning that the club have to find a new suitor for him or reintegrate him into the squad as a last resort.
This does put Chelsea in a spot, with the club wanting to raise more funds after a huge outlay last summer and another to come. The player last put on a blue shirt back in 2018 and it could be a huge challenge in case he needs to be put back into the squad.
