Turkish club Adana Demirspor have reportedly submitted an offer to sign Chelsea’s Tiemoue Bakayoko on a permanent deal.
Bakayoko, who earns £94,000-a-week, has been on Chelsea’s books since 2017.
The French midfielder has had a horrid time in west London that has resulted in just 43 Blues appearances, with a large chunk of his time spent away from Stamford Bridge on various loan deals.
He’s currently on loan with Italian giants AC Milan, albeit he’s not made a single appearance yet this season. It’s been reported that the Serie A champions are deciding not to play him because they don’t want to activate a clause to sign him permanently.
New offer for Tiemoue Bakayoko
Adana Demirspor, who sit sixth in the Turkish top division, are being linked with a move for Bakayoko in the January window.
According to the Daily Mail, Bakayoko has now received an offer from the Super Lig side to join them permanently.
It is understood that the the 28-year-old could finally end his connections with Chelsea if he accepts their proposal.
For Bakayoko’s sake, we hope this deal can happen.
He’s still under contract with the Chelsea until 2024, but any hope of him becoming a success in the Premier League has surely long gone.
A fresh move to Turkey can hopefully start a new chapter for him where he can find a permanent home.
It’s worth pointing out this is a defensive midfielder that was once a league title winner in France when he was at the peak of his powers with Monaco, but his confidence has been shattered in recent years.
