Chelsea flop Tiémoué Bakayoko has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
The midfielder joined Chelsea for a fee of £40 million from Monaco but failed to settle in West London, and became an object of ridicule for many of the club’s fans.
After a year he was sent on loan to AC Milan, and struggled there initially, before his form improved dramatically, but they declined to make the move permanently.
Instead he went back to Monaco for another season on loan, but that spell has now come to an end after the French league season was cancelled in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. The Ligue 1 club had the option to buy him back, but cannot afford the £40 million asking price.
Although due to head back to Stamford Bridge in the summer he has no future there, and instead is interested in moving to PSG and the city where he was born and raised.
