Report: Newcastle monitoring AC Milan rebel's situation

12 mag 2019

Tiemoue Bakayoko's future at AC Milan remains unclear. The Frenchman has had his ups and downs during the campaign for the Rossoneri and a lot will depend on whether the Rossoneri manage to qualify for the next edition of the Champions League. If the team fails to do so, Bakayoko's return to Chelsea will be inevitable.

However, his stay at the club would also be unlikely, given Maurizio Sarri's approach towards the player, who left the Stamford Bridge after the former Napoli man's arrival at the club. A potential new suitor has now emerged, according to reports in England, with Rafael Benitez' Newcastle monitoring the player's situation.

Club owner Mike Ashley is reportedly ready to splash the cash to convince coach Benitez to stay at the club and Bakayoko is a player who has been scouted by the club on numerous occasions this season. However, it remains to be seen if the Magpies will be capable of satisfying Chelsea's financial demands.
