Tiemoue Bakayoko's agent has suggested that AC Milan are keen to sign his client on a permanent deal during this summer's transfer window.

The 26-year-old has only made 43 appearances for Chelsea since arriving from Monaco in 2017 and has spent time on loan at AC Milan, Monaco and Napoli since making the move to Stamford Bridge.

A recent report claimed that the Frenchman is determined to secure a permanent move away from Thomas Tuchel's side this summer.

Bakayoko's agent, Marco Busiello, has said that his client "had a wonderful experience at Milan" and has hinted at a switch to San Siro before this summer's transfer window closes.

"Bakayoko had a wonderful experience at Milan, just as the Rossoneri club found a very serious player who left a good memory," Busiello told Milan News.

"We had a meeting a few weeks ago with the Milan officials who are looking for a player in that position. This is a particular market, in which there's a need to sell before buying. Beyond Bakayoko, I believe that many hits will be realised later because first the clubs have to place some players before taking others.

"It's an idea, not so much Bakayoko, but Milan want to do something in that role. Baka left a good memory and he has a good memory of Milan. The Rossoneri have to do something in that position, so we had some normal talk that happens in these situations."

Bakayoko still has 12 months left to run on his contract at Stamford Bridge. body check tags ::
