AC Milan have reportedly started negotiations with Chelsea over a season-long loan deal for midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.
The 26-year-old has spent four seasons on Chelsea's books, though the last three of those have been away from Stamford Bridge.
That includes a loan spell with Milan in 2018-19 when making 42 appearances in all competitions and impressing with his midfield displays.
Corriere dello Sport claims that the Rossoneri are interested in bringing Bakayoko back to San Siro this summer, and talks between the two clubs started last week.
The report suggests that Chelsea will first ask the one-cap France international to sign a new contract so that they do not lose him for free in a year's time.
As well as spending time with Milan, Bakayoko has also played for Monaco and Napoli over the past few seasons.
