Bakayoko struggled to gain credibility at AC Milan, and the pre-season training camp suffered another injury blow.
The 27-year-old Frenchman Bakayoko has been in trouble lately, first suspected of being a suspect by the police in the city of Milan, intercepted in the street, pointed at a pistol and searched, and then hit by an injury in the team's training camp, which also casts a huge shadow on his prospects for the new season.
According to Italian media reports, the French midfielder, plagued by knee discomfort, and three others, such as Kyal and Origi, will hang up their free cards and will not participate in this Saturday's warm-up match between AC Milan and Hungarian team Charlegorsky. Bakayoko, who was already in an awkward position under Pioli, could move further to the brink of leaving the squad, with the Rossoneri intent on terminating his two-season loan contract early this summer.
In the past year, Bakayoko has only played 18 games for AC Milan in all competitions, with only 5 starts, without any goals or assists, and his performance is completely unsatisfactory. Obviously, even if he returns to his old club Chelsea, he will not get any chances and will only be peddled again. Bakayoko's current contract with Chelsea has two years to expire, compared with the 40 million euros transfer fee when he joined Monaco, his current value has shrunk significantly, worth only 10 million euros.
Judging from the current situation, Ligue 1 giants Marseille and La Liga powerhouse Valencia are likely to become his next home. But despite the willingness of marseille's club president to bring him in, the team's new manager, Tudor, doesn't seem to be impressed by the proposal; Valencia manager Gattuso is eager to join forces with Bakayoko again, but due to the club's serious financial crisis, it is estimated that it is difficult to meet the player's contract salary and Chelsea's transfer fee asking price. Bakayoko's career prospects are currently in a fog.
