Paris Saint-Germain 'keen on summer deal for Tiemoue Bakayoko'

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko during this summer's transfer window.

Bakayoko has spent each of the last two seasons out on loan, representing AC Milan during the 2018-19 campaign before returning to Monaco, making 23 appearances in his second spell with the Ligue 1 club.

The 25-year-old has since returned to Chelsea but is not part of Frank Lampard's plans at Stamford Bridge and is expected to move on before the October 5 transfer deadline.

According to Telefoot, PSG are keen to sign a new midfielder this summer and have identified the Frenchman as the ideal signing in the current market.

Chelsea are allegedly open to Bakayoko leaving on loan for the 2020-21 campaign but would insist that a future purchase option of €40m (£36.9m) is included in the agreement.

The former Rennes youngster has scored three times and contributed three assists in 43 appearances for his current club.
