Tiemoue Bakayoko joined AC Milan on a two year loan last summer, but it’s just not worked out for him.
The midfielder was excluded from Stefano Pioli’s plans pretty early last season, and hasn’t made much progress since then.
This summer his prospects were bleak, but Chelsea had passed on that particular hot potato for a year and so left it up to Milan to find a solution.
According to SempreMilan, a last minute move to the Greek Super League was considered, but ultimately fell through.
Olympiacos were keen on the France international, but after the window closed there last night, it has become clear that nothing was figured out.
Bakayoko’s career has summed up the last decade of the worst of Chelsea’s transfer policy. Overpriced, loaned out endlessly, and then presumably eventually let go for nothing, or close to it.
What a mess. Let’s hope the new regime can run things a little better.
