Chelsea have reportedly offered their midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko to Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg.
Bakayoko, 28, is a Blues-owned player whose career at Stamford Bridge has never lifted off.
The Frenchman is currently out on yet another loan, this time with AC Milan until the end of the season.
However, Daily Telegraph journalist Mike McGrath has recently claimed on Twitter that Chelsea and Milan are in discussions to end central midfielder’s loan prematurely at the San Siro.
Tiemoue Bakayoko update
According to French publication Media Foot, Chelsea have recently offered Salzburg the opportunity to sign Bakayoko.
The report reiterates that Chelsea and Milan are in conversations to rip up the 28-year-old’s loan in Italy.
However, it is understood the Blues could go one step further and are considering terminating his contract with them.
If Graham Potter’s side rip up Bakayoko’s deal, Salzburg would have the opportunity to sign him on a free transfer. As it stands, they’re yet to respond to Chelsea’s offer about the midfielder.
