Chelsea are set to offload another one of their fringe first-team players in the summer with Stamford Bridge outcast Tiemoué Bakayoko certain to seal his exit ahead of the next season.
Fabrizio Romano has claimed that the former AS Monaco man is in line to head out of the exit door at the Bridge and it is Serie A side Fiorentina that are interested in signing the Frenchman.
Fiorentina boss Gennaro Gattuso is understood to be eager on working again with Bakayoko who is a player he has managed before at two clubs in Italy, namely AC Milan and Napoli.
However, the Italian outfit are concerned over the salary demands of the midfielder but will be tabling an offer soon in front of Chelsea who are likely to accept any reasonable bids coming their way in order to get rid of the deadwood in the summer.
Thomas Tuchel is interested in proposing an offer for AS Monaco starlet Aurelien Tchouameni with the young midfielder impressing this past season in the Ligue 1 as he anchored the midfield for Niko Kovač’s side.
