Stamford Bridge outcast Tiemoue Bakayoko is in line to seal his exit from the Chelsea camp in the upcoming days, according to Daniele Longo.
Longo claims that a return to his homeland France is on the cards for Bakayoko who has been heavily backed to call it quits at Chelsea in this summer’s transfer window with interest in signing the midfielder coming in from Italy.
Both AC Milan and Napoli have been suggested to be right in the mix for the signature of the France international but Chelsea are yet to receive an offer from the Serie A heavyweight duo for allowing Bakayoko to leave this summer.

It is now suggested that Ligue 1 duo Rennes and Lyon are the frontrunners for signing the Chelsea man and a move for Bakayoko back to France could be set to take place in the next few days.
Bakayoko’s imminent move away from Stamford Bridge could lure Thomas Tuchel into reviving his interest in Chelsea’s long-term target Declan Rice with the speculation surrounding the West Ham man’s future dying down as of late.
