CM: There were four opportunities for Bakayoko to leave Milan in January | OneFootball

There were four separate opportunities presented by three different clubs for Tiemoue Bakayoko to leave AC Milan but none of them materialised, a report claims.

As has been reported by Calciomercato.com, the French midfielder is set to remain at the club and continue training with the rest of the squad.

The move that seemed the most likely was to Vincenzo Montella’s Adana Demirspor, but that fell through. That opportunity came up again at the end of the window but the process could not be completed in time on deadline day.

They were two opportunities, and there was also a chance that he could have joined either Lyon or Cremonese on deadline day.

This meant that Milan could not lighten their wage bill, which would have increased the possibility of bringing an attacker into the club late in the transfer window.

Bakayoko is on a two-year loan deal from Chelsea in the Premier League.
